Songtext Beat the bottle Walker Hayes

Beat the bottle

Somebody must've drove me home
I don't remember who
Whoever did was kind enough
To take off my boots
I don't know where I left my car
What bar I ended up last, last night
No, I can't remember callin'
But my phone says I called you twice

Don't know why I keep drinkin' 'bout you
I'm just gonna wake up thinkin' 'bout you
Hung up, hungover, I know I need to quit you both
But I don't know how to
I'd still be holding you
Instead of this drink in my hand
If I could beat the bottle
Like your memory can

Your love is like a battleship
The whiskey just can't sink
At least that's what I wrote on this napkin
After a couple of drinks
I gave it all I got
With ?very shot I shot
And every top I popp?d to chase it
Just made everything a blur
Except the reason I got wasted

Don't know why I keep drinkin' 'bout you
I'm just gonna wake up thinkin' 'bout you
Hung up, hungover, I know I need to quit you both
But I don't know how to
I'd still be holding you
Instead of this drink in my hand
If I could beat the bottle
Like your memory can

I'd be the man that you always wanted
Instead of the man that you left
That's a sober thought, right there
Even the whiskey won't let me forget

Don't know why I keep drinkin' 'bout you
I'm just gonna wake up thinkin' 'bout you
Hung up, hungover, I know I need to quit you both
But I don't know how to
I'd still be holding you
Instead of this drink in my hand
If I could beat the bottle
Like your memory can
