[Verse 1]
Didn't come in here, the old sympathy
And a honky tonk please, the last thing I need
Just set me up with your best whiskey
Yeah, this is just between the the bottle and me
I don't want to talk, I don't need a friend
Don't think I stuttered when I said
I'm here to deal with a memory
Yeah, this is just between the the bottle and me

[Chorus]
A man can't face the cold hard truth
With nothing less than ninety proof
In closing time, that's when I leave
Until then it's just between the bottle and me

[Verse 2]
You're a good bartender, I know you want to help
So if you see me talking to myself
Just walk away and let me be
Yeah, this is just between the bottle and me

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Until then it's just between the bottle and me
