Lyrics

He's green behind the ears
He's chomping at the bit
He doesn't have a clue
He don't give a shit
Broken hearts and burnt bridges
He's leaving in his wake
He's too young to realize
The toll it's going to take
That green bottle's on the counter
The devil's in my head
I'm running through memories
Wondering how I'm not dead
I'm not looking for answers
But drinking just the same
Cause I'd rather drown in Jameson
Than wallow here in shame
A good man is like an iceberg
You don't see what lies beneath
Like a dog on a short leash
Scolded if he shows his teeth
Fighting not to be bitter
The battle's always uphill
So he tries to be quiet
When so many never will
That green bottle's on the counter
The devil's on my shoulder
I ain't even fighting memories
I'm just sad I'm getting older
I try to be a good man
But I pick myself apart
So I'm forced to be a hard man
That's got a gentle heart
It won't cure what ails me
It can't fix or save
But I've shared with it my secrets
And he'll take them to his grave
That green bottle's on the counter
I lie here in the ground
And I hope it gives some comfort
To all that gathered round
I hope it flows like memories
I hope it eases pain
I hope you have a smile
Every time you hear my name
