Bottom Of The Fifth Lyrics - Charlie Louvin

I should go home, but I'm not sure I have one 

The bottle holds the first place in my life 

I live out of control, in smoky places 

And I'm ashamed of how it hurts my wife 

'Cause it's bottom of the fifth and I'm still wantin' more 

She opt to give me up and even-up the score 

'Cause every time I say I'll quit, she knows that it's a myth 

When it's five to two and bottom of the fifth 

It's hard to change the habits of a full-time drunk 

Who lives on hundred proof from dawn 'til dawn 

I'd straighten up and change if they'd quit makin' booze 

But 'til they do I'll just drink on and on 

'Cause it's bottom of the fifth and I'm still wantin' more 

She opt to give me up and even-up the score 

'Cause every time I say I'll quit, she knows that it's a myth 

When it's five to two and bottom of the fifth
