The Bottle (Winter in America Version)

Lyrics

[Intro] If I just (Ha ha ha, ha ha ha) Oh, uno dos Uno dos tres cuatro [Verse 1] You see that black boy over there running scared His old man in a bottle He done quit his nine to five, he drink full-time And now he's living in a bottle See that black boy over there running scared His old man got a problem and it's a bad one He done pawned off damn near everything His old woman's wedding ring for a bottle [Chorus] And don't you think it's a crime When time after time after time People in a bottle? There's people living in a bottle Listen to me [Verse 2] See that sister sure was fine 'Fore she started drinking wine from the bottle She told me her old man committed a crime, he's doing time Now she's hanging in the bottle I seen her out there on the avenue all by herself Sure need help from the bottle I seen a preacher man tried to help her out She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle They turned to me, they asked me "Gil now [Chorus] Don't you think it's a crime Knowing time after time after time People in the bottle?" There's people sure 'nough in the bottle Give another good example [Verse 3] You see that gent in a wrinkled suit there He not done damn blown his cool to the bottle He was a doctor helping young girls along If they wasn't too far gone to have problems Uh but the defenders of the dollar eagle said "What you're doing man ain't legal" Now he's in the bottle And now we watch him every day He's trying to chase the pigeons away from the bottle He turned to me and said "Keep ya head now" [Chorus] And don't you think it's a crime The way time after time Friends of mine in the bottle? There's people sure 'nough in the bottle Come on hit me the lick one time stick, huh [Flute Solo] Uh ah [Verse 4] I'll tell you a little secret If you ever come looking for me You know where I'm bound to be in the bottle Turn around look around on any corner If you see some brother looking like a goner It's gonna be me Sing the song [Outro] Na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na nah na now Eewuha na na eewuha na na Eewuha na na eewuha na na Na na na na na naa na na eahwa na Na na na na na naa na na eahwa na Na na na na na naa na na eahwa na A dollar-nine or a bottle of wine A dollar-nine get a bottle of wine A dollar-nine get a bottle of wine Dollar-nine get a bottle of wine the bottle All that I'm concerned about is a bottle (Uh) It can turn me inside-out of the bottle Said all I want, said all I want, said all I want, said all I want Since I'm living on the bottom of a bottle Eh ah ah, eh ah ah, eh ah ah ah ah, eh ah Sure 'nough, sure 'nough Sure 'nough Sure 'nough, sure 'nough, sure 'nough, sure 'nough Sure 'nough Sure 'nough, hoo Sure 'nough Uh ha ha on the bottle, yeah on the bottle Now on that Yeah Right here Ooh
