Ralph Keefer - Me and the Bottle Again Lyrics

Clouds had begun to form in the East, rain was coming over the hill
A storm was a brewin,' she was a stewin' and what happened then was God's will
She left the next day, sailed away from the bay, caught a wind and she never looked back
She left me behind, but I really don't mind, it's not like I'm starting to crack

It's just me and the bottle again (Meet my new best friend!)
Cheap rye whiskey and lukewarm beer saves me from all sin
Just me and the bottle again, we're happy as pigs in a pen
So don't cry for me, just let me be, me and the bottle again

Now she's come back, she's checking up on me, asking if I ever get out
"Meet some new people, drink lots of tea, and stop being such a drunken lout!"
Well, if you don't like my tone, throw me a bone, at least I ain't a grade A grouch
If I had a drone, I'd answer the phone, but it's tough getting off of the couch

It's just me and the bottle again (That's my new best friend!)
Snake corn whiskey straight from the still, saves me from all ill
Just me and the bottle again, we're happy as pigs in a pen
So don't cry for me, just let me be, me and the bottle again

Just me and the bottle again (That's my new best friend)
Piña colada and strawberry wine saves me from all crime
Just me and the bottle again, happy as pigs in a pen
So don't cry me, just let me be, me and the bottle again
Don't cry me, just let me be, me, and the bottle, again...YEAH!
