lyrics

Family Bottle

Family gave me this bottle…and its lessons that I’ve ignored
And the hard days, they’re tough to swallow, but this whiskey…
Won’t be ignored…

And every day feels like the last one
And every night I find myself cryin’ to sleep
On the same old dirty tear soaked lonely pillow
This old boy…got feelin’ weak

So on my knees, I did pray,
I did shout on up to heaven for some, sunnier days
Looked for god, not a thing, found instead this hymn to sing
Hallelujah family bottle, set me free…

Mama gave me this guitar…and its six strings that I’ve ignored
On the good days no words are coming, but some sad songs…
Can’t be ignored…

Cause every day feels like the last one
And every night I find myself cryin’ to sleep
On that same old dirty tear soaked lonely pillow
This old boy…got feelin’ weak

So on my knees, I did pray,
I did shout on up to heaven for some, sunnier days.
Looked for god, not a thing, found instead this hymn to sing
Hallellujah family guitar, set me free…

Daddy gave me this spirit…and it’s true heart that I’ve ignored
Cause our todays, are what we make em, and sweet father time…
Won’t be ignored…

And every day leaves like the last one
And every night I find myself tryin’ to dream
On that same old dirty tear soaked lonely pillow
This old boy…got feelin’ weak

So on two feet, I will stand,
With a finger up to heaven, this boy will be a man
Look to me, for the voice, sing the words without a choice
Hallelujah, dear family, now I‘m free…
