Take The Bottle

from 2012 Demos by Sean Mormelo

lyrics

Came home from NAM in November of 72 nobody was around no more i wanted to talk to
so I roamed around for a for a while then I headed down south to try to wash the taste of blood out of my mouth
Ended up in Texas in the spring of 73 fell for a southern bell when she cast her eyes at me
so we settled down in Houston town to raise a family but the nightmares drove me to the bottle and the bottle drove my girl from me

Cause it takes time for you to learn to be a man
and it can take a lifetime for you to ever find true love again so
Take the bottle from my hand

Moved on to another town as another year rolled by heard tales of fortune waiting where the mountains meet the sky
So I drove up to the north country in the Summer of 75 to see if I could find a reason to stay alive
Hired on the pipeline the work was hard and it eased my mind by the time the work was done I was feelin fine
So I bought some land in Livengood where I could make a home built a cabin with my own 2 hands but a man ain’t meant to live alone

Cause it takes time for you to learn to be a man
and it can take a lifetime for you to ever find your peace again so
Take the Bottle from my hand

(Em, D/F#, G-C, Bm7, Am7, D7)
But that was years ago before I met my wife
She helped me shake the bottle and I know she saved my life

Gazing at the Northern Lights as I strum this old guitar ya know my favorite fishing hole isn’t very far
In the summertime there’s warm sunshine and in the wintertime it’s cold
and I still dream a young man’s dreams, and I don’t mind growing old

Cause it takes time for you to learn to be a man
and it can take a lifetime for you to ever come this way again so
Take the Bottle from my hand.....Take the Bottle From My Hand
