Lyrics below: I'm just the man in the bottle Drink away my sorrows I'll quit tomorrow Running from my demons but they always seem to follow Why am I so hollow Self medication for my problems I'm just the man in the bottle Drink away my sorrows I'll quit tomorrow Running from my demons but they always seem follow Why am I so hollow Tell me when did I become this man in the bottle This man in the bottle This man in the bottle This man in the bottle Im thinking that its bout time that I went and put it down Drank enough whiskey my friend that I could make a sailer drown Straight out the bottle never any chaser to be found Had a bottle in the console when you seen me round town Park down at the beach whenever my thoughts got too loud These pains deep within my soul, I can never let them go My bottle here is getting low, second time to the liquor store My man he already know, he got my whiskey keeping cold Same bottle as before, and he knows that I'll be back for more Jameson my copilot whenever I was plowing snow I was fun when I was drinking but you didn't see the lows Anxiety oozing out of me bout what I did the night before Killing myself softly, this aint who I wanna be, honestly, my path has been lost to me Deep in the cups when the demons crawl up out of me I don't want my son to see, what has become of me I'm just the man in the bottle Drink away my sorrows I'll quit tomorrow Running from my demons but they always seem to follow Why am I so hollow Self medication for my problems I'm just the man in the bottle Drink away my sorrows I'll quit tomorrow Running from my demons but they always seem follow Why am I so hollow Tell me when did I become this man in the bottle This man in the bottle This man in the bottle This man in the bottle You see me functioning, but not the war inside of me Wishing someone would just talk to me, but they would see the dark in me Thinking bout my family, trying to live up to their love for me But im just a mess drinking cause I'm so depressed But it makes me more depressed, it's gonna work I tell myself That voice says If you drink enough I swear its gonna help Locked cages in my mind and I can hear all the yells I drink trying to keep these demons locked up in their jails But by the nights end their all free from their cells Trying to drag me back to hell, but im too drunk to care Dear God you know that I could use some help down here Please take this cup from me before I drink another beer Sometimes you just gotta lay it low Take that weight up off your soul It's time to take the narrow road It's time to go and reach your goals I know this road has taken tolls mornings on the bathroom floor Find your reason for breathing, and don't you ever let it go I'm just the man in the bottle Drink away my sorrows I'll quit tomorrow Running from my demons but they always seem to follow Why am I so hollow Self medication for my problems I'm just the man in the bottle Drink away my sorrows I'll quit tomorrow Running from my demons but they always seem follow Why am I so hollow Tell me when did I become this man in the bottle This man in the bottle This man in the bottle This man in the bottle This song is about looking back and realizing how badly I abused alcohol after I had quit cold turkey and found clarity. I wasn't addicted but I sure did abuse it. I developed a rare liver condition which made it so I had to stop. Once i knew that drinking was bringing on my symptoms quiting was easy. I abused it for many years to self medicate myself. I was highly functional so people didn't think much of it. Im blessed to be where I am and I have never missed drinking since. If you or someone you know is struggling show that love by having a talk and showing some love. Not everyone is as lucky as me. And I just want people to know they aren't alone in the struggle. Make the change. Be the change.
