Hey there Mary
Come sit beside me
Tell me the story
Of your deep brown eyes
Cuz under the sadness
And all of the madness
I see a little something
I think I recognize

Is it the son who
Just up and left you
Went and joined the army
And never came back?
Or is it the man who
Sleeps right beside you
Never got to know you
Never thought to ask?

Now you dive into
That flask of whiskey
Just like a child jumps
Into a deep dark pool
And I’ll dive in with you
Float along right beside you
Raise my glass to you
But just don’t be fooled

Cuz there’s nothing in that bottle
Gonna stop the rain
Nothing in that bottle
Gonna make you whole again
Nothing in that bottle
Gonna fix what’s wrong
Nothing in that glass
Gonna heal your pain

Cuz you can drown in
This sea of spirits
Til it surrounds you
And swallows you whole
But you know that whiskey
Aint nothing but a chaser
It’s the thing you’re chasin'
That’s gonna kill your soul

So you'd best find something
Gonna lift you higher
Better get right
With whatever you call god
And whether it’s nature
Religion or music
Better hold on
With whatever you have
To whatever you got

Cuz there’s nothing in that bottle
Gonna stop the rain
Nothing in that bottle
Gonna make you whole again
Nothing in that bottle
Gonna fix what’s wrong
Nothing in that glass
Gonna heal this pain...
