[00:00.00]Put the Bottle Down - Casey Donahew Band
[00:22.91]I don't remember a smile
[00:26.17]No kind words were spoke
[00:29.27]Just an ashtray full of sin
[00:32.45]Shattered glass from a bottle broke
[00:35.02]
[00:42.83]Too young to know this pain
[00:46.20]But there's nowhere to hide
[00:49.52]I probably could've run
[00:52.39]But I stood by my momma's side
[00:55.20]
[00:59.27]When he put the bottle down
[01:05.71]There was silence in the air
[01:12.52]You could see his eyes turn black
[01:19.14]He drank the devil's blood I swear
[01:22.58]
[01:25.95]This prison was our home
[01:32.52]There were no angels to be found
[01:39.71]And I would pray to God
[01:45.70]For him to put the bottle down
[01:49.89]
[01:56.02]When you're young you don't know heck
[01:59.33]But it don't take long to learn
[02:02.39]He was supposed to keep us safe
[02:05.83]We got tortured in return
[02:08.39]
[02:16.33]And I still wear these scars
[02:20.14]And time can't heal
[02:22.83]And your apology
[02:25.89]It won't change the way I feel
[02:28.70]
[02:32.76]When he put the bottle down
[02:39.10]There was silence in the air
[02:45.84]You could see his eyes turn black
[02:52.42]He drank the devil's blood I swear
[02:55.72]
[02:59.04]And this prison was our home
[03:05.73]There were no angels to be found
[03:12.99]And I would pray to God
[03:17.99]For him to put the bottle down
[03:25.35]
[03:29.29]The whiskey finally took his life
[03:32.79]Stole his kids and his wife
[03:35.79]He crossed over in his sleep
[03:38.92]And there was no one there to weep
[03:41.78]
[03:45.79]I had to put a bottle down
[03:52.10]Convince myself to say goodbye
[03:58.73]"In loving memory you'll be missed"
[04:05.29]I curse this stone carved with a lie
[04:08.60]
[04:12.54]And his prison's now your home
[04:19.04]Fallen angels all around
[04:25.79]At least I don't have to pray
[04:32.35]For him to put the bottle down
