Bottle On the Bar

(Verse-1) Woke up this morning, A sidewalk for my bed. Inside my brain was ringing, From this bottle in my hand. Everybody says I’m worthless. No hope for me at all. Just fill up my hand, With that bottle on the bar. (Verse-2) No coat, still drunk and cold. No family no friends to hold. They say I’d sell my soul, For a bottle in my hand. They all tell me I’m worthless. There's no hope for me at all. Just fill up my hand, With that bottle on the bar. (Chorus) Lord, please send me an Angel. One to show me the way. Let her take this devil from my hand. And put this bottle on the bar. Lord I never ask for much, But I need your special touch. Please send to me an Angel. To help take this devil from my hand. (Verse-3) Now, each day I walk through that front gate. My Angel's waiting for me. She never asks where I’ve been. Or why I’m gone all day. She shows how much she trusts me. And that keeps me hanging on. So I thank the Lord above. For my Angel he sent to me. (Ending Chorus) Lord, thank you for my Angel. The one you sent my way. She cleansed my soul and held my hand. And placed that bottle on the bar. Lord, I send to you my loving touch. For my Angel I love so much. She is my sweetest Angel. Who helped rid this devil... from my hand.
