[Chorus]
Been workin' hard on a bottle, but the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Done drinkin' Mississippi River worth of Tennessee
Thought it'd be easy drownin' your memory
Been workin' hard on a bottle, but the bottle's hardly workin' on me

[Verse 1]
I been clockin' in and clockin' out
Puttin' overtime in this neon town
Breakin' back over your goodbye
Yeah, I'm seein' red and shootin' black
I'm cussin' you and cussin' Jack
And neither one is worth a damn tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I was countin' on this whiskey
To get you gone, not drink you back here with me

[Chorus]
Been workin' hard on a bottle, but the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Done drinkin' Mississippi River worth of Tennessee
Thought it'd be еasy drownin' your memory
Been workin' hard on a bottle, but the bottlе's hardly workin' on me

[Verse 2]
Thought it'd help me get to sleep
And get my boots back on my feet
But you're keepin' me up
And knockin' me down
[Chorus]
Been workin' hard on a bottle, but the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Done drinkin' Mississippi River worth of Tennessee
Thought it'd be easy drownin' your memory
Been workin' hard on a bottle, but the bottle's hardly workin' on me

[Post-Chorus]
Been workin' hard on a bottle

[Bridge]
I was countin' on this whiskey
To get you gone, not drink you back here with me

[Chorus]
Been workin' hard on a bottle, but the bottle's hardly workin' on me
Done drinkin' Mississippi River worth of Tennessee
Thought it'd be easy drownin' your memory
Been workin' hard on a bottle, but the bottle's hardly workin' on me

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Been workin' hard on a bottle

[Outro]
I been clockin' in and clockin' out
Puttin' overtime in this neon town
Breakin' back over your goodbye
