Lyrics:

David Allan Coe & George Jones
Album: David Allan Coe: 17 Greatest Hits
Track 11

Last week he spent his whole paycheck on whiskey
And I know on friday night he'll do it all again
Oh, he'll drink till he falls down then he'll order one more round
And then go home with that bottle in his hand.

Chorus:
And the only thing I can hold on to is this bottle in my hand
I'll know I'll never have to share it with any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand.

She told George that changing diaper can sure become a drag
And the clean the house and cooking for him is not ger kind of bag
She said he needed someone who will love and understand
Then she left him with that bottle in his hand.

Chorus:
And the only thing I can count on now is this bottle in my hand
I'll know I'll never have to share it with any other man
And I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand.

Yes, We'll be faithful with this bottle in our hand.
