Lyrics: Jim Ed Brown. My Friend The Bottle My Friend The Glass.

I found new friends the day you left me you never told me you'd be back
New friends so kind to one so lonely my friend the bottle my friend the glass
They kept me going when I had to go take you back I wish you wouldn't ask
They now mean more to me than you do my friend the bottle my friend the glass
To ease my mind they give me blindness so I can see into the past
Sometimes I think they're killing me with kindness
My frind the bottle my friend the glass
[ guitar ]
While you were gone I learned to need them give them up that's just too much to ask

By now you too might like to meet them my friend the bottle my friend the glass
My frind the bottle my friend the glass
