5 AM the alarm goes off
You woulda thought that it had done something wrong
By the way she slams her fist upon the snooze
No make up on and just sun shades
You know she won't waste the time it takes
The lonely never have to much to lose

Her wine glass is full of whiskey
'Cause that Merlot just won't do
And her heart and home is empty
She's still tryna fill that too
And that pack of Marlboro Smooths
That she keeps behind the bed
And she'll break out one or two
When she needs to catch her breath
Yeah, she needs to catch her breath

She'll talk to mom then hang up the phone
Try to leave that ole buzz alone
Then she'll fight the urge to find out how I've been
Well she hates the taste of whiskey but she likes to go insane
It's one drink for the pleasure and another for pain
She look back and she'll smile when that bottle's gone

Her wine glass is full of whiskey
'Cause that Merlot just won't do
And her heart and home is empty
She's still tryna fill that too
And that pack of Marlboro Smooths
That she keeps behind the bed
And she'll break out one or two
When she needs to catch her breath
Yeah, she needs to catch her breath
Her wine glass is full of whiskey
'Cause that Merlot just won't do
And her heart and home is empty
She's still tryna fill that too
And that pack of Marlboro Smooths
That she keeps behind the bed
And she'll break out one or two
When she needs to catch her breath
Yeah, she needs to catch her breath

She needs to catch her breath
