Now my throat is as dry as the dust on this road
My bottle is empty, but I've everywhere to go
My drunken past is behind me
A new leaf is turned
Goodbye, stupor
Though many things I've learned
See, things come and go
Nothing's forever
Old clothes replace new ones
Sunshine to rainy weather
So to thee, fair, faithful bottle
A fond farewell
It's time for me to straighten up
As to how this'll go...
Only time can tell
So as I take my leave
A kind word I desire
Just a bit of encouragement
To spur me on, though I tire
So as I go forth, to new sights and sounds
Send me off with a cheer
And applause all around
