Didn't come in here for your sympathy,
and a honky tonk queen's the last thing I need
Just set me up with your best whiskey
This is just between the bottle and me

I don't want to talk I don't need a friend
Don't think I stuttered when I said
I'm here to deal with a memory
Yeah, this is just between the bottle and me

A man can't face the cold, hard truth
with nothing less than 90 proof
And closing time is when I'll leave
Till then it's just between the bottle and me

You're a good bartender I know you want to help
So if you see me talking to myself,
Just walk away and let me be
Yeah, this is just between the bottle and me

A man can't face the cold, hard truth
with nothing less than 90 proof
And closing time is when I'll leave
Till then it's just between this bottle and me

A man can't face the cold, hard truth
with nothing less than 90 proof,
And closing time is when I'll leave
Till then it's just between this bottle and me
Till then it's just between this bottle and me
