Bottle To The Bottom

Lyricist:K Kristofferson

You ask me if I'm happy now
That's good as any joke I've heard
It seems since I've seen you last
I done forgot the meaning of the word

If happiness is empty rooms and drinkin' in the afternoon
Well, I guess I'm as happy as a clam
But if it's got a thing to do with smilin' or forgettin' you
Well, I don't guess that I could say I am

Did you ever see a down and outer wakin' up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds has soaked the papers he's been puttin'
In his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through?

And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started fallin'
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

You wonder if I'm better off
With freedom now to do the things I choose
Well, all my time's my own and I've got
Nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

There's no one here to carry on if I stay out the whole night long
Or give a tankerous damn if I don't call
I'm livin' like I wanted to and doin' things I wanna do
And nothin' means a thing to me at all

Did you ever see a down and outer wakin' up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds has soaked the papers he's been puttin'
In his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through?

And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started fallin'
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
