The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Me and the bottle have always been friends
Oh we've had a few ol' nasty fights but the bottle would always win
And when I go to answer that final curtain call
I can hear these words being whispered by all
Ol' George stopped drinkin' today
They're all gonna gather round me Lord I wish they could hear me say
No more income taxes no more bills to pay
Ol' Jones stopped drinkin' today
Down in Mississippi the highway patrol
Will read it in the paper and say God rest his soul
No more will he wobble down life's highway
Cause Jones stopped drinkin today
They'll say he had a problem dealin' with his mind
He just couldn't seem to make it anywhere on time
But when the roll is called up yonder and heaven I know
You can bet the possum is gonna show
Ol' George stopped drinkin' today...
Ol' Jones stopped drinkin' today
