Two Tongued Swear

Well I let the bottle down
And stopped being a letdown
Well I let the bottle down
Left off where I left town
No, not a drop, I swear
Not a nip of that dog’s hair
I let the bottle down before I drowned
Ain’t no two-tongued swear
I put the needle on that broken record
And let it spin
Yeah, but that needle’s my tongue
And that old song’s sayin' «Never again»
«I don’t care about you» says all the things I do
But it ain’t true, no, it ain’t true
I think I’ll lay myself out to dry and see if what’s left will do
'Cause I let the bottle down
And stopped being a letdown
Well I let the bottle down
Left off where I left town
No, not a drop, I swear
Not a nip of that dog’s hair
I let the bottle down before I drowned
Ain’t no two-tongued swear
Honey, all I’ve ever known was a simple tune
And I try to open a heart without leaving a wound
I understand if you’ve grown tired
Of these reckless words and far-off eyes
Into the blue, into the blue
But now I’m bringing it all back home, right back home to you
'Cause I let the bottle down
And stopped being a letdown
Hell, I let the bottle down
Left off where I left town
No, not a drop, I swear
Not a nip of that dog’s hair
I let the bottle down before I drowned
Ain’t no two-tongued swear
Hell, I let the bottle down before I drowned
Ain’t no two-tongued swear
