Frankie Miller - A bottle of Whisky

Diamonds on the corner of lipstick.
Rubies shining with the gold.
Wild night, a woman, and Cadillacs
Helpless with no one to hold.
She stood at the edge of a doorway.
There was nowhere a poor boy could run.
I had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
and the bottle of whiskey won.

She told me to watch from the window
as she powdered the sweat from my brow.
I told her I couldn't stay too late
but it didn't connect anyhow.
It's funny how small things don't matter
When you can't recall what you have done.
I had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
and the bottle of whiskey won.

Her mama remembered my picture.
Her daddy remembered my face.
There were lawyers all over the city.
There were cowboys all over the place.
In the morning the judge asked the jury
"can you tell me exactly what he's done?"
"He had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
and the bottle of whiskey won."

Your wild night woman and Cadillacs
are out on the street having fun.
I had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
and the bottle of whiskey won.
I had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
and the bottle of whiskey won,
