How Far Down Can I Go

(Harlan Howard - Jerome C. Barney)



I've hurt all who've loved me

They don't understand that my life is out of control

All that really matters is this bottle in my hand

How far down can I go?



Tonight it's a bottom, tomorrow, what then

Anything that brings a happy glow

Once I loved somebody I wish I could again

How far down can I go?



I'd steal a newsboy's dime for a small glass of wine

My hands get to trembling so

I've brought many tears to my mama's eyes

How far down can I go?

I'd steal a newsboy's dime for a small glass of wine

My hands get to trembling so

I've brought many tears to my mama's eyes

How far down can I go?...
