And a honky tonk queen's the last thing I need

Just set me up with your best whiskey



Yeah this is just between the bottle and me



I don't wanna talk

I don't need a friend

Don't think I studdered when I said

That 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 nothin' less than ninety proof

And closin' time is when I'll leave

Yeah this is just between the bottle and me



You're a good bartender

I know you wanna help

So if you see me talkin 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 nothin' les than ninety proof

And closin' time is when I'll leave

Yeah this is just between the bottle and me
