Dierks Bentley - Bottle To The Bottom lyrics

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 done forget the meaning of the words
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinking in the afternoon
Well I guess I'm as happy as a clam
But, if it's got a thing to do
With smiling or forgetting you
Well I don't guess that I could say I am

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
Had soaked the papers
He'd been putting in his shoes to
Keep the ground from coming though
And his future feels as empty as
The pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen a
Single dream come true
That's the way that I've been feeling
Since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learning hard to live with losing you

You wonder if I'm better off
With freedom now to do the things I choose
Well all my times my own and
I've got nothing left but
Sleeping time to lose
There's no one here to carry on
If I stay out the whole night long
Or give a tinkers damn if I don't call
I'm living like I wanted to
And doing things I want to do
And nothing means a thing to me at all

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
Had soaked the papers
He'd been putting in his shoes to
Keep the ground from coming though
And his future feels as empty as
The pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen a
Single dream come true
That's the way that I've been feeling
Since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learning hard to live with losing you
