White lines here on this highway, roll on forever This tear in my heart, it won't ever fall I guess that is why I'm a country music singer High on the bottle, addicted to the pain I could've been with a beautiful Christian woman She loved me so but I had to walk away 'Cause I can't be good out on the road The women that I meet, they all seem to know I'm high on the bottle, addicted to the pain So show me the way to the stage in this bar Let it fill with people that have broken hearts And I'll play a sad song 'bout the hurting and the cheating High on the bottle, addicted to the pain ♪ This honky-tonk life that I lead, it suits me just fine This shot of Jim Beam goes real good with this joint in my hand I've never been one to follow the rules, none Just high on the bottle, addicted to the pain So show me the way to the stage in this bar Let it fill with people that have broken hearts And I'll play a sad song 'bout the hurting and the leaving High on the bottle, addicted to the pain I'll play a sad song 'bout the hurting and the cheating High on the bottle, addicted to the pain I stay high on the bottle, addicted to the pain
