Another day, another dollar Another debt I couldn't pay If the world's so full of answers Why's it drinking mine away? My paycheck died on Friday My landlord came on Sunday The preacher said there's better days I asked him, "How 'bout Monday?" The newsman says we're winning My neighbor lost his home Everybody says we're in this together Till you're standing there alone They tell me I should straighten up And learn to understand But the bottle is more kinder Than the man The bottle is more kinder than the man It takes me as I am Never asks me where my money went Never tells me who I am I'll drink my meal tonight Raise a glass to doing alright Tomorrow I'll have another Tomorrow I'll have another The courthouse calls it justice My boss calls overtime The doctor says to take it easy Then he charges for his time The wealthy preach about the poor From the houses on the hill They tell me drinking's killing me Then hand me another bill They ask me why I do it Like they've never had a plan To find a little kindness Where they can The bottle is more kinder than the man It takes me as I am Never asks me where my money went Never tells me who I am I'll drink my meal tonight Raise a glass to doing alright Tomorrow I'll have another Tomorrow I'll have another I met a fellow yesterday Who said that I should quit He told me life was beautiful I asked which part of it He said that I was wasting mine I said, "Well, ain't that grand? You got a whole world loving you I got a bottle in my hand." They say the bottle's gonna kill me Like the world ain't tried before They say there's nothing at the bottom But I keep looking for something more I know it doesn't love me I know it doesn't care But at least it doesn't promise me That somebody will be there The bottle is more kinder than the man It takes me as I am Never asks me where my money went Never tells me who I am I'll drink my meal tonight And pretend I'm doing alright Tomorrow I'll have another Tomorrow I'll have another Another day, another dollar Another debt I couldn't pay I thought the bottle held tomorrow But it only stole today Tomorrow I'll have another Tomorrow I'll have another The bottle is more kinder... Than the man.
