Loretta Lynn - Taking The Place Of My Man lyrics

You ask why I'm wastin' myself on the wine And if I'll come with you you show me a good time Well haven't you noticed these rings on my hand This bottle is taking the place of my man They called him to dudy but I have one too Bein' true to the man who is fighting for you I got lonesome without him so I found me a friend This bottle is taking the place of my man [ steel ] I'm not proud of this bottle just got proud in one thing Ever since he's been gone I've been true to his name I'll be just like he left me when he come home again This bottle is taking the place of my man You can buy me a drink but I think you should know That a drink and some talk is as far as I go I'll be nobody's woman till he holds me again This bottle is taking the place of my man
