up comes the bottle lyrics

Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
I can't help him but I can understand

When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
With loneliness so heavy you can feel it in the air
You may find him anywhere there's heartache and despair
And the only thing that matters is the drink in his hand
And down, down, down, goes the man.

Then up comes the bottle
You can read between the lines of his withered face
See defeat in his eyes that keeps searching every place
Then up comes the bottle
Just when he tells you he can quit

And down, down, down, goes the man.
You see the tremble in his hands
There's just one thing can stop him
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
I can't help him but I can understand
The love of my woman is all that can
For he loves her you see but she left him for me
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man...
