Bottom Of The Fifth

Porter Wagoner - Michael Pearson

© MCA Music, ASCAP

I wish with every drink I take that somehow it could pay
For a one short night of passion and the love I threw away
And if this bar could heal the scars of how lonely it can be
At the bottom of the fifth again the only one out is me

At the bottom of the fifth again and another night alone
At least it helps me ease the pain and now like her I'm gone
Another night has passed me by and you call this being free
At the bottom of the fifth again and the only one out is me
[ instrumental ]
As the band plays down their closing song and the couples fill the floor
I reach out for the bottle and fill my glass once more
Well here I am at closing time for I did not wanna be
At the bottom of the fifth again the only one out is me
At the bottom of the fifth again the only one out is me
