"My Friend The Bottle My Friend The Glass" lyrics - JIM ED BROWN

I found new friends the day you left me
You never told me you'd be back
New friends so kind to one so lonely
My friend the bottle, my friend the glass.

They kept me going when I had to go
Take you back, I wish you wouldn't ask
They now mean more to me than you do
My friend the bottle, my friend the glass.

To ease my mind they give me blindness
So I can see into the past
Sometimes I think they're killing me with kindness
My frind the bottle, my friend the glass.

While you were gone I learned to need them
Give them up, that's just too much to ask
By now you too might like to meet them
My friend the bottle, my friend the glass.

My frind the bottle, my friend the glass...
