'Cause everything around me is crumblin' down

And all I want is for someone to help me

What in the world am I gonna do tomorrow?

Is there someone with a dollar I could borrow?

Who can help me take away my sorrow?

Maybe it's inside the bottle

Maybe it's inside the bottle

I had some good old buddies, name's is whiskey and wine (Hey, hey)

And for my good old buddy, I spend my last dime (Hey, hey)

Now, wine is good to me, he helped me pass the time

And my good old buddy whiskey keep me warmer than sunshine (Hey, hey)

Your momma may have blessed the child that's got his own (Hey, hey)

If God has plans for me, I hope it ain't written in stone (Hey, hey)
