The Bottles, The Book or the Gun Lyrics by Tinsley Ellis

Red Clay Soul

2016

[Verse 1]
Last night I truly hit a new low
Came to somewhere strange to me
As I rode from town to town
Can’t put the bottle down
Right now it feels like it’s killing me
Life out here gets so depressing
Need something to take that edge you see
I got nowhere to hide
An empty hole inside
It’s the bottle, the book or the gun for me
Seems like everyone's out to get me
Trouble always following me
Feeling like I just cannot outrun
These demons that are all around me
[Verse 2]
Tried to go attend those meetings
Had a problem with honesty
What you see is my heart bleeding
On letters from a son I’d never seen
I’m a victim of life circumstances
Take every pill from A-Z
I tried to [?] it out
That feeling of self doubt
It’s the bottle the book or the gun for me
It’s the bottle the book or the gun for me
The bottle the book or the gun for me
