[Verse 1]
With iron in my brain I'd laid down to rest
Not caring if I live or die
Woke up a freezing with rain pouring down
So hard I can't open my eyes
I been chased from the yard with dogs at my heels
Searching for shelter at times
But there's nothing so hard for a man on the bum

[Chorus]
As the time between bottles of wine
The time between bottles of wine

[Verse 2]
Begging for pennies just one sweet taste
Of the nectar that kills the man's soul
Sweet piece of mind excuses my pride
Just something that keep out the cold
It's too late for me to start living again
The good life is too far behind
I never remember the things that I've had

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If mama could see me she wouldn't believe
I even resemble her son
She would throw her life to make me a man
And she's proud the child that she's done
What one love created another destroyed
The story is older than time
The tale of a man who just can't stand
The time between bottles of wine

[Chorus]
