Married

I don't want to drink beer anymore honey I'd just like to be here with you In your outfit, and your lace I didn't want to leave you at all dear Looking back now I wish you knew How terribly ashamed and sorry I am For all the bad things I put you through What do you say honey That strong stuff was always my weakness But hey, any man can be a fool You know I've been married to this bottle in my hand for so long now Were it my way, it've been you And you know darling, if you're ever feeling blue I'd like you to know, out of all the whiskey in the world None of it was ever quite as sweet as you It's been a lifetime I've been married To this bottle in my hand She's the only woman out there Who would truly understand, With Her kiss intoxicating And her touch is like a buzz No matter what, you'd take me back For better than I was I'm coming home now honey And this time I mean it like a prayer You know I can tell I've been gone a long time now And so you can you, by the grey that's been growing in my hair Any moment now I'll be coming up Given these old legs make it up those stairs Howling at the moon and throwing off that busted old coat you knew me to wear It wasn't always easy being that man you knew me to be I'm older now and the years are my own to bear It's been years I've had a good chewing out And given the circumstances I bet that'd be fair It won't be long now darling, after all these years I still care Underneath it all I'm still that young man I was Covered in all that long dark hair
