Hard on the Bottle

Been workin' hard on the bottle
But the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Done drank a Mississippi River worth of Tennessee
Thought it'd be easy drownin' your memory
Been workin' hard on the bottle
But the bottle's hardly workin' on me

I've been clockin' in and clockin' out
Puttin' overtime in this neon town
Breakin' back over your goodbye
Yeah, I'm seein' red and shootin' black
I'm cussin' you and cussin' Jack
And neither one is worth a damn tonight

Yeah, I was countin' on this whiskey
To get you gone, now drink it back here with me

Been workin' hard on the bottle
But the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Done drank a Mississippi River worth of Tennessee
Thought it'd be easy drownin' your memory
Been workin' hard on the bottle
But the bottle's hardly workin' on me

Thought it'd help me get to sleepin'
Get my boots back on my feet
But you're keepin' me up
At knockin' me down

Been workin' hard on the bottle
But the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Done drank a Mississippi River worth of Tennessee
Thought it'd be easy drownin' your memory
Been workin' hard on the bottle
But the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Been workin' hard on the bottle

Yeah, I was countin' on this whiskey
To get you gone, now drink it back here with me

Been workin' hard on the bottle
But the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Done drank a Mississippi River worth of Tennessee
Thought it'd be easy drownin' your memory
Been workin' hard on the bottle
But the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Yeah, been workin' hard on the bottle

I've been clockin' in and clockin' out
Puttin' overtime in this neon town
Breakin' back over your goodbye
