Lesson in a Bottle - Blackberry Smoke

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

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

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
