Hank Locklin - Empty Bottles Empty Heart

An empty bottle and an empty heart
That's all I have now since we're apart
It gave false courage right from the start
But now it's empty just like my heart

There stands my future there stands my past
There stands the end of a fortune mask
There's no returning to late to start
With an empty bottle and an empty heart

An empty bottle stands by my sid
It took away my joy and pride
Destroyed my future and wrecked my home
It took my loved one and now I'm alone

With an empty bottle and an empty heart
Alone forsaken a thing apart
It gave me courage right from the start
But now it's empty just like my heart
