Empty Bottle © 2000 John Kellermann

Mobile home, mountain view
Rising sun, morning dew
Working man, loving wife
Little girl, happy life

Glass of whiskey every night
Angry words, ugly fight
Bleary eyes, aching head
Single man, double bed

Dusty garden, withered rose
Dirty dishes, rumpled clothes
Glass of whiskey all alone
Empty bottle, broken home

Broken man, bended knees
Blessed Jesus, tearful pleas
Wife and daughter far away
Clean and sober, day by day
