He's like a king without a crown
   He wears it like a clown
   Watch him disappear
   I wish he would come down
  
   So call before you drown
   I won' t always be around
   Living for the bottle
   He's living for the bottle
  
   He's a ship without a sail
   He's not listening when you speak
   Living for the bottle
   He'll be sitting there all week
  
   So call before you drown
   I won't always be around
   Living for the bottle
   He's living for the bottle
   Yeah
  
   There's no light on in his eyes
   How heavy are the lies
   Just jump right out his skin
   He'll take you for a ride
  
   Living for the bottle
   He's living for the bottle
   So call before you drown
   I won't always be around
  
   A dog without a bite
   Still looking for a fight
   All in black
   He won't be home tonight
   Yeah
  
   There's no light on in his eyes
   How heavy are the lies
   Just jump right out his skin
   He'll take you for a ride
  
   Living for the bottle
   He's living for the bottle
   I won't always be around
   So call before you drown
