Steady the room
and give me just a minute
to get my feet back under this old body
and some spirits in it
I can't move my arms
I can just barely see
would you hold up the bottle
for me
there's a place down in Texas
I call 'Beggars Mill'
where she tore out my heart
Hell it might be up there still
but she's in love in Birmingham
as far as I know
and me, I've become the scourge of this Border town
down in Old Mexico
So hold up the bottle for me
put it to my lips and put me out of my, my misery
If I could black out right about now
I feel like the emptiness it might leave
would you hold up the bottle for me
for me
I've got a picture of you
from back before
it's tucked away in that old Bible of mine
I don't read much anymore
I keep em both in the liquor cabinet
in case I ever do need your help
it gets hard to pour that last one
all by myself
So hold up the bottle for me
put it to my lips and put me out of my, my misery
If I could black out right about now
I feel like the emptiness it might leave
would you hold up the bottle
hold up the bottle
Oh hold up that bottle for me
