Bottle Lyrics - Singles - One Minute Millionaires

I found a ring at roadside stand, for half a'days' pay 

And though I'm dead in my saddle, my horse knows the way back home 

All that's left of my little homestead, are broken fences and cattle long dead 

There's no more coffee, and no more flour for bread 

And I pray 

So Mary please hold me 

'Cause I killed [second time - bled] her slowly 

I begged and I prayed, she passed on the same 

And pass me the bottle, before I remember her name 

Well I had nothing to give her, but cold nights and long days 

And all she had was my stone-hardened heart, she hid her sorrow and laughed the same 

So my hand clenches the bottle, as my heart cries like a preacher 

But I don't need your sermon, 'cause it won't help me reach her 

The tears in my eyes, sting my sun-burned cheeks 

The first drops of water that I've seen in weeks 

I knew she'd be gone, my luck always runs bad in streaks 

Cold steel in my temple 

A lost love I can't figure 

Though my peacemaker's empty 

Still I pull the trigger
