Trent Tomlinson The Bottle lyrics

I was sitting with Dennis Knudson and Mark Kerr
And we literally had a Jim Beam bottle
Sitting in the middle of the table
But we couldn't come up with anything to write

We poured ourselves a drink
And I got to looking at that bottle and thought
'Man, there's a song right here in this bottle
What if we structured it so that when we got
To the top of the label, then we're
At the end of the first verse


And if we get to the middle of the bottle
We're at the end of the chorus, and so forth
'So we wrote it just like that
As the bottle was going down to the bottom
We threw a story behind it
And the whiskey got lower and lower
It's a love song and a drinking song rolled into one
