Capo II Intro: Verse I: There's a lesson in a bottle that never gets learned Sweep out the ashes of the bridges that I've burned white lines and wild times, passed out cold and left behind Then I'm right back in the saddle again There's a lesson in a bottle, bartender pour a shot I'll have a whiskey, I believe it's my turn There's a lesson in a bottle bartender pour a shot I'll have a whiskey cause I'll never learn Verse II: Blue lights and fist fights one too many out all nights Like a freight train that's done run outta track I've been a winner and a loser, sloppy drunk and a drug abuser If I get through this, Lord I swear I'll cut way back There's a lesson in a bottle, bartender pour a shot I'll have a whiskey, I believe it's my turn There's a lesson in a bottle bartender pour a shot I'll have a whiskey cause I'll never learn Bridge: I'm a long, long way from where I was goin' It's been a long, long time, my scars are sure showin' But school's in session bring the liquor There's a lesson in a bottle, bartender pour a shot I'll have a whiskey, I believe it's my turn There's a lesson in a bottle bartender pour a shot I'll have a whiskey cause I'll never learn There's a lesson in a bottle, bartender pour a shot I'll have a whiskey, I believe it's my turn There's a lesson in a bottle bartender pour a shot I'll have a whiskey cause I'll never learn
