I'm just a bottle of whiskey I ain't all that bad Just a golden elixir Cradled in clear glass Remember when you were with me The good times that we had I'm just a bottle of whiskey I ain't all that bad All those years you spent drunk Back when ya lost your wife I was there but man that was your fault It damn sure wasn't mine I didn't hold a gun to your head And pour myself in you You just loved me more than her You know that's the truth I help man, I ain't out to hurt you I soothe I may not heal But I can ease those feelings You don't wanna feel Brother, moderation is the key word And here again Don't go gettin' too hooked on me It may not end well man I'm just a bottle of whiskey Some call me jack I knew your grandaddy well And I know your old man I got him through that damned old war And some rough years after that I'm just a bottle of whiskey I ain't all that bad I'm just a bottle of whiskey A damn good friend to have
