Trailer Tapes Session 1

Rogue version

 Hold Me Down

I got a reason for drinkin’
‘Cause it fills up the hole
Where my family ought to be
I couldn’t hold on to a wife
Now I can’t hold on to life
And no children, for me, will there be

So hold me down and take this old bottle away
I know that I don’t need it
But it won’t let me get away
Hold me down and take this old bottle from me
I know that I should quit it
But it just won’t let me be

Now there’s a pain in my heart
Where my pride used to be
And that old demon bottle’s taken everything from me
Well, I started out drinkin’ bourbon
But now it’s drinkin’ me
So hold me down and take this old bottle from me

So hold me down and take this old bottle from me
I know that I should quit it
But it just won’t set me free
Hold me down and take this old bottle away
I know that I don’t need it
But it won’t let me get away


And I feel myself a-slippin’
A little farther every day
