Whiskey Bent

This bottle has got a hold on me…

There’s a little bottle With just a little left I know I should avoid it But I’m a bit bereft

Been trying to taper off it Since I got out of the clink But while I was inside All I wanted was a drink

But I know it’s got me In its thick unyielding hand No matter what I try to do Or how my family remands

Its the whisky baby That’s got me in its hold You know I can’t break free In this card game I gotta fold

I’ve tried those self help groups And they work for a little while I act like I’m being helped But inside I’ve got to smile

The bottle is my mistress I know she’ll never let go Even though I try to break it off I ain’t got nothin’ to show

Just a river of heartache Sorrow with my family and friends Although they’ve all abandoned me She’ll stick with me to the end
