Charlie Louvin - Bottom Of The Fifth lyrics

I should go home, but I'm not sure I have one The bottle holds the first place in my life I live out of control, in smoky places And I'm ashamed of how it hurts my wife 'Cause it's bottom of the fifth and I'm still wantin' more She opt to give me up and even-up the score 'Cause every time I say I'll quit, she knows that it's a myth When it's five to two and bottom of the fifth It's hard to change the habits of a full-time drunk Who lives on hundred proof from dawn 'til dawn I'd straighten up and change if they'd quit makin' booze But 'til they do I'll just drink on and on 'Cause it's bottom of the fifth and I'm still wantin' more She opt to give me up and even-up the score 'Cause every time I say I'll quit, she knows that it's a myth When it's five to two and bottom of the fifth
