I was listenin' to the radio really early this mornin' cuz that's the only time when they'll play the good music and I heard a Dick Curless song I hadn't heard since I was a kid and it had a message that really spoke to me...



There's a stone, in yonder graveyard
With my name carved in it deep
It don't tell, my life story
These things, it can't repeat

I never had a family
I never took a wife
All I had, was a bottle
And I drank away my life

So bury the bottle with me
For it's what tore me down
So I won't be alone tonight
When they put me in the ground
When they lower my body down

A drunker, is a sinner
On this, I place no doubt
Oh the Lord, won't share his palace
With the things he lives without

For the bottle is the devil
And drinking is his name
Now the bottle, is what took my soul
And petrified my brain

So bury the bottle with me
For it's what tore me down
So I won't be alone tonight
When they put me in the ground
When they lower my body down
