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.
