Brown bag on the backseat Rollin’ past that corner store Change janglin’ in my pocket I ain’t even thirsty, sure What’s in the paper bag Same old sad little friend Life’s not fair, in the bottle I stare Thinkin’ this can’t be the end That bottle always callin’ my name in shame Whisperin’ low, tryna pull me back again (oh no) I’m strong enough to contain and stay sane But that bottle, yeah that bottle’s always callin’ my name Mama left a message "Boy, you missed church again" Said she’s prayin’ for my heartbeat To lean on livin’ things, not this sin Don’t like to share my secrets Don’t like the look in their eyes No more cares when it’s up in the air Then I’m drownin’ in my own disguise That bottle always callin’ my name in shame Sneakin’ up slow, tryna own my every day (hey) I’m strong enough to contain and stay sane But that bottle, yeah that bottle’s always callin’ my name I set it down on the table Step back, hands start to shake Whose voice is that in the label? Is it mine, or the ache Paper bag, I fold you Like the nights I won’t get back Walk away while you haunt me I’m still here, holdin’ fast That bottle always callin’ my name in shame But I’m talkin’ back, I ain’t goin’ out the same (oh no) I’m strong enough to contain and stay sane Though that bottle, yeah that bottle’s always callin’ my name That bottle’s always callin’ Always callin’ my name But I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’ Till the call fades away
