Lyrics

bottleneck, bottleneck
won't you let me go
you keep trying to tell me it'll only make me grow
bottleneck, bottleneck
have mercy on my soul
bottleneck kindly let me go

landlord keeps the phone ringing off the wall
i can't pay the rent until the fall
you think that's bad? well, add to that: i spent the night in jail
and i don't have a friend to pay my bail

bottleneck, bottleneck
won't you let me go
you keep trying to tell me it'll only make me grow
bottleneck, bottleneck
have mercy on my soul
bottleneck kindly let me go

bottleneck let me go (c'mon let me go)
bottleneck let me go (c'mon let me go)

cupid shot a poisen arrow throw my heart
my girlfriend's mad and don't know where to start
you think that's bad? well, add to that: she just called my wife
now i'll get the beating of my life

bottleneck, bottleneck
won't you let me go
you keep trying to tell me it'll only make me grow
bottleneck, bottleneck
have mercy on my soul
bottleneck kindly let me go
