/*************** FROM THE BOTTLE TO THE BOTTOM ****************/
written and performed by Kris Kristofferson.
Verse 1:
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 ve done forgotten the meening of the words
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinkin in the afternoon
Well i suppose i m happy as a clown
But if it s got a thing to do
With smilin of forgettin you
Well i don t guess that i could say i am
Chorus:
Did you ever see a darling out a waken up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds that sop the paper
He s 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 he s never seen a single dream come true
That s the way that i ve been feelin since the day i started fallen
From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew
Learnin hard to live with losin you
Verse 2:
You wonder if i m 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
There s no one here to carry on
If i stay out the whole night lone
Give a thinker s damn if i don t call
I m livin like i wanted you
And doin things i wanna do
And nothin means a things to me at all
Chorus.
