Dive into a Bottle

As I think back about those nights when you and I began

I look at myself and wonder just how did it end?

Did it really have to be that way,

and could we try again.

I thought I knew the answer to it then,

but when I found I didn't I just dove right in.



Dive into a bottle

Jack Daniels is your friend.

Dive into a bottle,

and he'll be there til the end.

Dive into a bottle

just unscrew the lid.

Pour it down your heart and soul til you can never feel again.

It's right there, so just dive right in...



The next day comes around, and I wonder where's my head?

It really starts to pound, so I find it again.

That bottle full of the good stuff sits in my hand,

and I wonder if I should tonight...should I drink again?

It may not be the answer, but I just want the pain to end.

I did it again, I dove right in...



Dive into a bottle

Jim Beam's really a good friend.

Dive into a bottle,

and he'll be there til the end.

Dive into a bottle

just unscrew the lid.

Pour it down your heart and soul til you can never feel again.

It's right there, so just dive right in...



as I was drinking that night I put the bottle down,

and then God said to me "You don't need that. He wont

walk by your side, but you know me. I'm always around."

I sat there crying as I slammed that bottle down.

Glass went everywhere, all over the ground,

but this time all I did was fall down as Jesus said to me...



Don't dive into a bottle

Jack Daniels ain't your friend.

Don't dive into a bottle,

cause he won't be there til the end.

Don't dive into a bottle

listen to me friend.

Blood poured from my heart and soul so you can feel again.

It's just sitting there man, so just dive right in...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was hurting a lot last year, so quite often (especially around the end of may), and there was more than once when I poured myself in to a bottle because of it.  I can't say much about drinking in moderation, but getting drunk only makes you remember, not forget.  Now, when I get that urge, I try to remember that I don't need that stuff...all I need is Christ the Lord...
