Secret of the Bottle

One, two, three

I feel better when I'm drinkin'

It just seems to ease my mind

And all my worries and troubles

They just seem to fade behind

Oh, the secret of the bottle

It may never be known

So I'll raise my glass and propose a toast

And this one, baby, is for you

I start to laugh when I'm a-drinkin'

And I may tell a joke or two

Sometimes I'll even pretend

That I'm still in love with you

Oh, the secret of the bottle

It may never be known

So I'll raise my glass and propose a toast

And this one, baby, is for you

And you ask me if I've felt pain

After all that I've been through

I've paid more than just my dues

I felt the pain of you

Ah, tell me what I say

Oh, I feel the pain when I'm a-drinkin'

It just don't seem to cut as deep

And when I lay down without you

It makes it easier to go to sleep

Oh, the secret of the bottle

It may never be known

So, I'll raise my glass and propose a toast

For this one, baby, is for you

The secret of the bottle

It may never be known

So, I'll raise my glass and propose a toast

And this one, baby, is for you

Oh, the secret of the bottle (The secret of the bottle)

It may never be known (It may never be known)

So, I'll raise my glass and propose a toast

And this one, baby (Baby)

Is for you

I feel better when I'm a-drinkin'
