Bottleneck Slide, The - Moses & The Rockin' Juice

THE BOTTLENECK SLIDE
(А.РУДИЧЕВ/С.ВЕРЕЙКИН)

After every bright comes a certain kind of pale
I guess that’s just the price you pay
I’m feeling like a train going off the rails
And I believe I’m well on my way
We had a good time, I thought we had it all
I gave her all the love I could share
We were so strong, we stood proud and tall
But it seems she just didn’t care

CHORUS
I never understood why our love had to end
I still miss her by my side
And now old Jack remains my only friend
I just do the bottleneck slide

So now I’m doin’ circles ‘round the sleazy honky tonks
All I see is thick smoke and dim lights
And the jukebox in the corner full of sad love songs
That I’m talking to in the night
A cigarette pack, double whiskey and beer
Maybe even some pills and weed
And the sound of her tender voice in my ears
Would be the only chaser I need

CHORUS.

Another shot and the memories come for free
I just can’t drink her off my mind
I’ll stay here tonight until I’m too drunk to see
But I can’t leave her love behind
Just show me the way to the next whiskey bar
You know we all must die anyway
I’m sliding low, I guess I’ve gone too far
But with my bottle I’ll be just OK

CHORUS.
