lyrics

I sat her down on Saturday and tried to explain
Why on Friday night I fried my brain
How I was thirsty on Thursday,
Though she witnessed things on Wednesday
That she'd rather never see me do again

It's true enough that Tuesday has always been my booze day
And Monday's hard to make it through sober
But I'll buy the day's first round
As the evening sun goes down
Guess I'm spending Sunday evening without her

Yeah, she's jealous of the bottle, it sure has that allure
And I seem to spend more time with it than her
I drink a bottle, I get full, then she gets fed up
And we both become a different shade of green
Yeah, she's jealous of the bottle when I come home late
She knows just where I've been

To feel the contour of the bottle or the curve of her hips
You think I'd stick with her and that'd be it
But I hear her frequent holler
When the scent upon my collar
Gives away what's been pressed up against my lips

I know it isn't fair for me to keep up this affair
When I see how much she cares for me, despite
How after every tender kiss
I drink down her nemesis
And I'll meet up with that mistress again tonight
