There's a lesson in a bottle that never gets learned
Sweep out the ashes of the bridges that I've burned
white lines and wild times, pa**ed out cold and left behind
Then I'm right back in the saddle again
Chorus
There's a lesson in a bottle, bartender pour a shot
I'll have a whiskey, I believe it's my turn
There's a lesson in a bottle bartender pour a shot
I'll have a whiskey cause I'll never learn
Blue lights and fist fights one too many out all nights
like a freight train that's done run outta track
I've been a winner and a loser, sloppy drunk and a drug abuser
if I get through this, Lord I swear I'll cut way back
Chorus
Bridge:
I'm a long, long way from where I was goin'
It's been a long, long time, my scars are sure showin'
But school's in session bring the liquor
