Whiskey Bottle Home (David A. Thompson & Julie Elkins | Woody Overtones Music, ASCAP) Julie wondered what it would be like to live in a bottle so Dave said ãmaybe like this.ä Julie Elkins - lead vocal David Thompson - rhythm and lead guitar, bass, harmony vocal Ron Craighead - drums Ivan Rosenberg - dobro Billy Varnes - harmony vocal It's kinda hard to tell but I think it's raining Or maybe someone's really out there throwing stones Nothing pentrates this liquid prison Welcome to the bottle I call home It isn't much but at least I don't get thirsty And I'm sorry for the mess but it's been a while No one wants to visit a place so lonely I guess that living on the rocks is out of style I'm slipping toward the bottom of a cold, half-empty life In salt and ice, I'm floating like a stone You can think that you might save me But I'll sleep alone tonight Way down here in my whiskey bottle home Way down here in my whiskey bottle home Through this bloodshot glass I watch the world Spilling past me without stopping, 'cause it's got you Only echoes of my crying are in slow motion Where the speed of life is 97 proof I'm slipping toward the bottom of a cold, half-empty life In salt and ice, I'm floating like a stone You can think that you might save me But I'll sleep alone tonight Way down here in my whiskey bottle home Way down here in my whiskey bottle home I've seen the light at the end of the bottle And I know you're waiting for me to take that trip But every time I've almost made it I slowly lose my grip Liquor's a dull, quicksilver knife And I take it with a twist or maybe straight Lately it's everclear that you will not be back again That's the only sober thought I have these days I'm slipping toward the bottom of a cold, half-empty life In salt and ice, I'm floating like a stone You can think that you might save me But I'll sleep alone tonight Way down here in my whiskey bottle home I'm here all alone in my whiskey bottle home All rights reserved.
