I've hurt all who love 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 bottle, 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 tremblin' so
I brought many a tear to my Mama's eyes
How far down can I go
How far down can I go
