From The Bottle to The Bottom — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

You ask me if Im happy now

Thats good as any joke Ive heard

It seems that since Ive seen you last

I done forgot the meaning of the words

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinkin in the afternoon

Well I suppose Im happy as a clam

But if its got a thing to do

With smilin of forgettin you

Well I dont guess that I could say I am





Chorus:

Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper

Hes been puttin in his shoes to keep the ground from comin through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because hes never seen a single dream come true

Thats the way that Ive been feelin since the day I started falling

>from the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin hard to live with losin you



You wonder if Im better off

With freedom now to do the things I choose

With all my times my own and

I got nothin left but sleepin time to lose

Theres no one here to carry on

If I stay out the whole night long

Or give a tankerous damn if I dont call

Im livin like I wanted to

And doin things I wanna do

And nothin means a thing to me at all





Chorus:

Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds soaked the paper

Hes been puttin in his shoes to keep the ground from comin through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because hes never seen a single dream come true

Thats the way that Ive been feelin since the day I started falling

>from the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin hard to live with losin you
