C.O.D. - In The Bottle lyrics

Uno, dos uno, dos, tres, cuatro

See that black boy over there, running scared
His old man's in the bottle
He done quit 9 to 5, he drinks full-time
Now he's living, huh, in the bottle!
See that black boy over there, running scared
His old man's got a problem
And it’s a bad one
He done pawned off damn near everything
His old woman's wedding ring for the bottle

And don't you think it's a crime?
Time after time after time
Living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle

Oh, listen to me
See that sister 'sho was fine
Before she started drinking wine
From the bottle
She told me her old man committed a crime
He's doing time
Now she's hanging in the bottle
I seen her out there on the avenue
All by herself
She sure needs help from the bottle
I seen a preacher man tried to help her
She cursed him out and hit him
In the head with a bottle

And don't you think it's a crime?
Time after time after time
Living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle

In the bottle in the bottle

See that dude in a wrinkled suit
He done nearly blown his cool in the bottle
He was a doctor helping young girls along
If they wasn't too far gone to have problems
Defenders of the dollar eagle
Said, "What you’re doing, man, ain’t legal"
Now he's in the bottle
Now he's working everyday
Trying to chase his breath
Away from the bottle

And don't you think it's a crime?
Time after time after time
Living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle

Here's another one!

If you ever come looking for me
You know where I'm gonna be, in the bottle
Look around on any corner
If you see a brother looking like a goner
It's gonna, be me, huh!

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh!

Time after time after time
Living in the bottle

There's people living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle
(Nobody cares)
There's people living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle

There's people living in the bottle
(Nobody cares)
There's people living in the bottle

There's people living in the bottle
(Nobody cares)
There's people living in the bottle

There's people living in the bottle
There's people living in the bottle
