Smaller Than The Bottle Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

I used to be a big man in this town 

Anyone can tell you I was known for miles around 

I had money a family and a home so fine 

Now I'm smaller than the bottle and weaker than the wine 

I'm just a shell of the man I used to be I drown my hopes but not my memories 

I've lost everything I owned and I'm sure to lose my mind 

I'm smaller than the bottle and weaker than the wine 

[ guitar ] 

I haven't seen my children in a year or more 

They wouldn't recognize me if I'd walk up to the door 

Fot I can't go there when I'm drinking and that's all the time 

I'm smaller than the bottle and weaker than the wine 

I'm just a shell of the man... 

I'm smaller than the bottle and weaker than the wine
