Well, I'm sittin' here, a gla** so near Filled with my one concern Oh bottle, you've done lead me to The point of no return. You took away my happy days My life's a total wreck You took the only things I love So bottle, take effect. Take effect and take away These blues that drive me wild Take effect, make me forget These troubles for a while Then just lead me to Those lights of blue On the corner of regret In some bar room I'll lose my gloom So bottle, take effect. --- Instrumental --- You've took away my fortune While I drank away my pride Humiliation's my misfortune And there's no place left to hide The best place is the gutter There I won't need respect 'Cause when in Rome You'll do as the Romans do Oh bottle, take effect. Take effect, and take away All these blues that drive me wild Please take effect, make me forget My troubles for a while Then just lead me to All those lights of blue On the corner of regret In some bar room I'll lose my gloom Oh bottle, take effect...
