Ya'll I went out last Friday night just like I always do
G
Once again I grabbed a friend and we plopped down on a stool
A
And we hit that bottle solid 'til them bright lights all went black,
C              G               D
Sometimes that bottle hits you back.
D
Now I woke up with some woman, you could say I paid the price
G
Man to say coyote ugly, well that's just a way to put it nice
A
She had more hair on her legs than half the soldiers in Iraq
C             G               D
Sometimes the bottle hits you back.
G
You all lately here this drinkin beer and whiskey's out of hand
    D
I'm tired of wakin' up and wonderin' where and who I am
A
Feelin' like somebody cracked my temple with an axe
C             G               D
Sometimes the bottle hits you back.

I was so doggone hungover I couldn't make in to work
G
So i asked myself now really what would one more sick day hurt
A
I ended up just tossin' one more pink slip on stack 
C              G               D
Sometimes that bottle hits you back.
G
Ya'll lately here it's gettin clear I need to slow it down
D
My boozin' reputation's makin' news all over town
A
They're wonderin' right out loud how my poor liver's still intact
C              G               D
Sometimes that bottle hits you back
A
That old Jim Beam'll take a swing and knock your whole life out of whack
C              G               D
Sometimes that bottle hits you back.
