I've hurt all who love me, they don't understand
That my life is out of control
All that really matters is this bottle in my hand
How far down can I go
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/lefty+frizzell/how+far+down+can+i+go_20820311.html ]
Tonight it's a bottom, tomorrow, what then
Anything that brings a happy glow
Once I loved somebody, I wish I could again
How far down can I go

I'd steal a newsboy's dime for a small glass of wine
My hands get to trembling so
I've brought many a tears to my mama's eyes
How far down can I go
How far down can I go
