lyrics

You broke my heart and I lost my head,
Went to sleep and then I woke up dead,
feelin' like a ghost on that old highway,
Since I lost that woman, been walkin' for days.

Now I don't know if I'll ever love again
Can't place a bet with your money spent
Sometimes it takes a bottle to put me to sleep,
Gonna take a lot more to drink you away.

Cause that old empty bottle,
Has got me thinking 'bout the one I used to love
I know she's never coming home,
And it's hard to swallow,
Feel like a man without a purpose
Drag my feet along that long dark dusty road,
Leading to nowhere,
Gave you my heart so you could break it
Now I'm nothing but a bag of skin and bones,
Cold and hollow,
Here's to another couple years
Washed down the drain,
Here's to that old
Empty Bottle.

And I thought heaven was in girl with the long dark hair,
Them hazel eyes and that skin so fair,
And I gave that woman all my heart,
But when you give to much it tears you apart.

So I lost all that I had to lose,
Took the last of my love and I put it on you.
And you threw it away like I wasn't enough,
Now it's just me and a long, dark, walk.


With that old empty bottle,
Has got me thinking 'bout the one I used to love
I know she's never coming home,
And it's hard to swallow,
Feel like a man without a purpose
Drag my feet along that long dark dusty road,
Leading to nowhere,
Gave you my heart so you could break it
Now I'm nothing but a bag of skin and bones,
Cold and hollow,
Here's to another couple years
Washed down the drain,
Here's to that old
Empty Bottle.
