From The Bottle To The Bottom Lyrics - The Essential Kris Kristofferson - Kris Kristofferson

You ask me if I'm happy now 

That's good as any joke I've heard 

It seems that since I've seen you last 

I done forgot the meaning of the words 

If happiness is empty rooms 

And drinkin' in the afternoon 

Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam 

But if it's got a thing to do 

With smilin' of forgettin' you 

Well I don't guess that I could say I am 

Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone 

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew 

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper 

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through 

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants 

Because he's never seen a single dream come true 

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool 

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you 

You wonder if I'm better off 

With freedom now to do the things I choose 

With all my times my own and 

I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose 

There's no one here to carry on 

If I stay out the whole night long 

or give a tankerous damn if I don't call 

I'm livin' like I wanted to 

And doin' things I want to do 

And nothin' means a thing to me at all 

Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone 

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew 

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper 

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through 

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants 

Because he's never seen a single dream come true 

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling
