No man ever made you feel such pain
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you sing that way
The stories you told about prison
About a young man gone astray
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you write the songs that way
Chorus:
A real mean bottle
Poured straight from the Devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle
Made you such a rebel
It must have been a real mean bottle
Made you sing that way
You spent most all your life with strangers
With a ramblin' fever in your veins
Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you play the blues that way
Chorus
A real mean bottle
Poured straight from the Devil
It must have been a real mean bottle
Made you sing that way
No man ever sounded so lonesome No man ever made you feel such pain Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle That made you sing that way The stories you told about prison About a young man gone astray Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle That made you write the songs that way Chorus: A real mean bottle Poured straight from the Devil It's a miracle you're standin' here today A real mean bottle Made you such a rebel It must have been a real mean bottle Made you sing that way You spent most all your life with strangers With a ramblin' fever in your veins Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle That made you play the blues that way Chorus A real mean bottle Poured straight from the Devil It must have been a real mean bottle Made you sing that way Explain Request ×
