Horns arranged by Nick Broste and Charles Rumback

lyrics

It's alright, another night with a glass glued to my hand
Never knowing, never caring where I land
Never fear, I'm in the clear
Let's take a shot then have a beer
One more round for every one of us in here
So I'll drink and try not to cry tonight
Cause whiskey never did me wrong
And I'll make my bed at the bottom of a bottle
And sleep like a baby tonight
I feel fine, must be the wine
It went straight to my head
Now I don't know and I don't care what you said
I don't know where I'll go
When I wake up and I find
Another day, another devil is on my mind
So I'll drink and I'll try not to cry tonight
Cause whiskey never did me wrong
And I'll make my bed at the bottom of a bottle
And sleep like a baby tonight
Yes I'll make my bed at the bottom of a bottle
And won't think of my baby tonight
