Real Mean Bottle

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Stories you told about prison

'Bout 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

Must have been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

[Verse 3]

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 write the songs that way

[Chorus]

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil

It's a miracle we're standin' here today

A real mean bottle made you such a rebel

Must have been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

Must have been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

It must have been a real mean bottle made you sing that way
