Lyrics

Every Time I Hit The Bottle-Jeremy Pike-C. 2010

1st Verse

These days I'm getting older in oh so many ways
Can't do the things I used to and if I do , I pay
Ain't talking about the bedroom, just ask my lovely wife
It's the late nights and the bar fights that are so hard on my life



Every time I hit the bottle,This old train goes off the tracks
It don't matter what I'm drinking,Wild Turkey, Beam or Jack.
Can't do it like I used to ,that's a stone cold fact
Every time I hit the bottle, the bottle hits me back.

2nd
Used to leave the house at sunrise,do a fifteen hour day,
The first ten I'd spend working,the rest I'd drink away
Yeah when I was a younger man I had plenty of midnight oil
But finally run the engine dry of this good 'ol country boy

Every time I hit the bottle,This old train goes off the tracks
It don't matter what I'm drinking,Wild Turkey, Beam or Jack.
Can't do it like I used to ,that's a stone cold fact
Every time I hit the bottle, the bottle hits me back.

I used to pick fights,punch out the lights-Land myself in jail
That woman of mine, 'bout lost her mind-said she won't post me no bail
If I didn't learn, I'd have to leave and she'd gladly help me pack
Every time I hit the bottle,the bottle hits me back

Break

I've finally learned my lesson,but took too many years,
I've caused my share of heartache on Bourbon, Scotch and Beer,
I hope I'll find forgiveness and get cut a little slack
Cause every time I hit the bottle,the bottle hit me back

Chorus
