Take Me Home, Alice

[Verse]
There's ice on the window
Shots on the bar
Charm of this place only stretches so far
Blind dog on the old hardwood floor
Cheap plastic Christmas tree there by the door

Salvation army bells ringin' outside
I'm tryin' to crawl in this bottle and hide
Bar stool is no place to spend Christmas Eve
I can't find the courage to get up and leave

[Chorus]
So take me home, Alice
Put me to bed
This bottom shelf whisky's gone straight to my head
Stay with me, Alice
Sing me to sleep
I'm only as good as the company I keep

[Verse]
Some autoparts salesmen, Is bendin' my ear
Folks in this bar room all bore me to tears
Same conversations year after year
I got nothin' in common with anyone here

[Chorus]
So take me home, Alice
Put me to bed
This bottom shelf whisky's gone straight to my head
Stay with me, Alice
Sing me to sleep
I'm only as good as the company I keep

[Verse]
Bills come to early, an paychecks to late
Kids have all grown up and moved outta state
This town ain't the same as it used to be
Alice says "cheer up, the next one's on me"

[Chorus]
So take me home, Alice
Put me to bed
This bottom shelf whisky's gone straight to my head
Stay with me, Alice
Sing me to sleep
I'm only as good as the company I keep
I'm only as good as the company I keep
I'm only as good as the company I keep
