Lyrics:

Oh,  It’s  been  way  too  long   And  something  happened   When  you  picked  up  that  phone     I  heard  your  voice  say  hello   Come  back  to  bed,  she  said   When  I  thought  you  were  alone     Now  hope   Is  just  another  way   For  me  to  give  myself  away     And  home   Seems  so  far  away   When  love  was  never  here  to  stay     And  through  these  tears,  I’ve  done  my  time   But  loving  you   Was  never  a  crime     Now  when  I  look  out  ‘cross  the  river   It’s  the  lonely  souls  I  feel   Cold  for  the  winter     When  hope   Is  just  another  way   For  me  to  give  myself  away     And  home   Seems  so  far  away   When  love  was  never  here  to  stay     Should  I  go  out  to  Hollywood   Should  I  go  out  to  the  Bay   ‘Cause  I  see  your  face  everywhere  I  look   Maybe  this  town  is  where  I  should  stay     Where  hope   Is  just  another  way   For  me  to  give  myself  away     And  home   Seems  so  far  away   When  love  was  never  here  to  stay

Lyrics:

There's ice on the window, Shots on the bar, The charm of this place Only stretches so far. The blind dogs asleep on The old hardwood floor. Cheap plastic Christmas tree There, by the door. The salvation army bell's Ringing outside. And I'm trying to crawl in this Bottle, and hide. Bar stool's no place To spend Christmas Eve. I can't find the courage To get up and leave. So take me home, Alice, And put me to bed. This bottom shelf whiskey's gone Straight to my head. So stay with me, Alice. Sing me to sleep. I'm only as good as The company I keep. Some auto-parts salesman Is bending my ear. The folks in this bar-room All bore me to tears. Same conversations Year after year. Got nothing in common With anyone here. So take me home, Alice, And put me to bed. This bottom shelf whiskey's gone Straight to my head. So stay with me, Alice. Sing me to sleep. I'm only as good as The company I keep. Bills come too early. Paychecks too late. Kids have all grown up And moved out of state. This town ain't the same As it used to be. Alice says, ""Cheer up; ""The next one's on me."" So take me home, Alice, And put me to bed. This bottom shelf whiskey's gone Straight to my head. So 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
