Mmm yeah

Well I asked that bottle what went wrong tonight

It said, "Boy you loved that woman more than right"
I asked the bottle what went wrong
Yeah, I asked the bottle what went wrong
She packed her trunk 'fore the rooster crowed
Yeah, she packed that trunk 'fore the rooster crowed
Left me standin' in that dusty road
I asked the bottle what went wrong
Lord I asked the bottle what went wrong
Now I poured that whiskey in a cracked tin cup
Yeah, I poured that whiskey in a cracked tin cup
Tryin' to drink enough to fill love up
I asked the bottle what went wrong
Yeah I asked the bottle what went wrong
Lantern light swingin' on a rusty nail
Yeah lantern light swingin' on a rusty nail
Even them shadows know my tale
I asked the bottle what went wrong
Lord I asked the bottle what went wrong
I said "Bottle tell me did she love me true?"
Yeah, I said "Bottle tell me, did she love me true?"
Bottle tipped slow but it never knew
I asked the bottle what went wrong
Yeah, I asked the bottle what went wrong
That old porch dog just watched me cry
Yeah, that old porch dog just watched me cry
Moon hung crooked in the Delta sky
I asked the bottle what went wrong
Lord I asked the bottle what went wrong
Now the bottle run empty and the night feel long
Yeah, the bottle runs empty, and the night feel long
Still askin' that bottle what went wrong
I asked the bottle what went wrong
Bottle never answered just stared all night long
Lord now
