He's like a king without a crown
He wears it like a clown
Watch him disappear
I wish he would come downSo, call before you drown
I won't always be around
Living for the bottle
He's living for the bottleHe's a ship without a sail
He's not listening when you speak
Living for the bottle
He'll be sitting there all weekSo, call before you drown
I won't always be around
Living for the bottle
He's living for the bottle, yeahThere's no light on in his eyes
How heavy are the lies
Just jumped right out his skin
He'll take you for a rideLiving for the bottle
He's living for the bottle
So, call before you drown
I won't always be aroundHe's a dog without a bite
Still looking for a fight
All in black
He won't be home tonightYeah, there's no light on in his eyes
How heavy are the lies
Just jumped right out his skin
He'll take you for a rideLiving for the bottle
He's living for the bottle
I won't always be around
So, call before you drown
