Bottle, Take Effect Jim Reeves

Well, I'm sittin' here, a glass so near
Filled with my one concern
Oh bottle, you've done lead me to
The point of no return
You took away my happy days
My life's a total wreck
You took the only things I love
So bottle, take effect

Take effect and take away
These blues that drive me wild
Take effect, make me forget
These troubles for a while
Then just lead me to
Those lights of blue
On the corner of regret
In some bar room
I'll lose my gloom
So bottle, take effect

--- Instrumental ---

You've took away my fortune
While I drank away my pride
Humiliation's my misfortune
And there's no place left to hide
The best place is the gutter
There I won't need respect
'Cause when in Rome
You'll do as the Romans do
Oh bottle, take effect
