Battle with the Bottle
Conquering Temptations: Charley Crockett's Battle with the Bottle
Lyrics
You think you're gonna tempt me once again
You believe you can entice me once more.
But here's one fight with you I'm gonna win
This time, I'm determined to overcome this struggle with you.
So many years we two have lived in sin
We've spent many years engaged in sinful behavior.
But tonight I swear I won't touch you again
Despite our past, tonight I promise not to indulge in you again.
It's the battle with the bottle again tonight
Engaging in the familiar struggle with alcohol tonight.
I know I'm in for a heck of a fight
I am aware that I am in for a challenging battle.
I'm hiding my drinkin' glass out of sight
I'm keeping my drinking glass hidden from view.
Another battle with the bottle again tonight
Another episode in the ongoing battle with alcohol tonight.
Now as I run my fingers through my hair
Running fingers through hair, contemplating the struggle.
My thirsty eyes can see you sittin' there
Seeing the temptation (possibly a bottle) in close proximity.
Do you really think you're gonna win the race?
Questioning if the temptation will lead to succumbing to the urge.
And tempt me into havin' just one taste
The fear of being enticed into taking just a small amount.
It's the battle with the bottle again tonight
Continuing the struggle with alcohol tonight.
I know I'm in for a heck of a fight
Acknowledging the formidable challenge ahead.
I'm hiding my drinkin' glass out of sight
Keeping the drinking glass hidden from sight.
Another battle with the bottle again tonight
Another round in the ongoing battle with alcohol tonight.
I feel my tremblin' hands reach for your top
Feeling the urge to reach for the bottle.
One turn left is far too much to stop
Realizing that stopping after one turn is difficult.
Just one teeny tiny sip for me
Contemplating taking a small sip.
I guess I might as well have two or three
Considering having more than just a small amount.
I lost the battle with the bottle again tonight
Admitting defeat in the struggle with alcohol tonight.
I finally got my elbow bent just right
Successfully succumbing to the temptation.
I know I'm going to wind up high as a kite
Anticipating the consequences of excessive drinking.
I lost the battle with the bottle again tonight
Confirming the loss in the battle with alcohol tonight.
Another battle with the bottle again tonight
Another instance of grappling with the challenges of alcohol tonight.
