KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - From The Bottle To The Bottom lyrics

You ask me if I'm happy now

That's good as any joke I've heard.

It seems since I seen you last

I done forgot the meaning of the word.

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinking in the afternoon

Well I suppose I'm happy as a clown.

But if it's got a thing to do

With smilin' or forgettin' you

Well I don't guess that I could say I am.

Did you ever see a down and outer

Wakin up alone without a

blanket on to keep him from the dew?

When the water from the weeds a

Soak the paper he's been puttin'

In his shoes to keep the ground from comin' though.

And his future feels as empty as

The pockets in his pants because

He's never seen a single dream come true.

That's the way that I've been feelin'

Since the day I started fallin'

From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew,

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you.

You wonder if I'm better off with

Freedom now to do the things I choose.

Well all my time's my own and I

Got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose.

There's no-one here to care at all

If I stay out the whole night long,

Or give a tinker's damn if I don't call.

I'm livin' like I wanted do and

Doin' things I wanna do

And nothing means a thing to me at all.

Did you ever see a down and outer

Wakin up alone without a

blanket on to keep him from the dew?

When the water from the weeds a

Soak the paper he's been puttin

In his shoes to keep the ground from comin' though.

And his future feels as empty as

The pockets in his pants because

He's never seen a single dream come true.

That's the way that I've been feelin'

Since the day I started fallin'

From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew,

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you.
