Secret Of The Bottle

(Jesse James Dupree/James Allen Dupree)

I feel better when I'm drinking, it just seems to ease my mind
And all my worries and troubles, they just seem to fade behind

CHORUS
Oh the secret of the bottle it may never be known
So I'll raise my glass and propose a toast and this one baby is for you

I start to laugh when I'm drinking, I may tell a joke or two
Sometimes I'll even pretend that I'm still in love with you

CHORUS

And you ask me if I've felt pain
After all that I've been through
I've paid more than just my dues
I felt the pain of you

I feel the pain when I'm drinking, it just don't seem to cut as deep
And when I lay down without you it makes it easy to go to sleep

CHORUS
