Quarter Bottle, Half a heart
Written by John Watts and Cassidy Dickens

V1:
Sunday morning, running late for church.
Talking through the week and what to do for lunch.
The yellow light turned up ahead; I thought that I could beat the red.
I thought that I could beat the red.

V2:
I told the neighbors thanks for stopping by,
For the casseroles and homemade pies.
I pulled the blinds and the sofa bed; I poured us both one more and said,
“I thought that I could beat the red.”

CHORUS:
I’ve apologized a thousand times.
I’ve talked to God and lost my mind.
I’m trying to heal but I don’t know where to start.
The closure seems so far away.
I can’t go back to yesterday,
But what I’ve got might get me where you are —
A quarter bottle, half a heart.

V3:
Monday morning, running late for work.
Hope no one can tell I had too much.
Fighting demons that I’ve kept, just one glass turned to four instead.
I thought that I could beat the red.

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge:
I found the burn to numb the hurt.
Maybe lonely’s all that I deserve.

REPEAT CHORUS

Quarter Bottle, Half A Heart (Written With Cassidy Dickens)

V1:
You took off, bags packed 
Said you aint gon want me back 
Think your better off without 
I think your insane

I didnt know what to say 
Always let u have your way 
& you still picked the highway
Anyway 

Chorus: 
But My buddies found out 
Took me downtown 
Got hit on by a pretty little missy at the bar 
She said she kinda wanna take it too far
I’m runner up when it comes to your love
But I win 
I win the break up 

V2: 
I’ll admit I was thrown
Didnt wanna be alone 
But I shoulda tried my luck a long time ago

I been doin what I like 
No one killin off my vibes 
I’m more than just alright babe
 I’m a one man show 

Chorus2: 
i heard you found out 
I bet your bummed out
You were hopin That u leavin me would really hit me hard 
Curve ball babe I hit it out the park
I’m runner up when it comes to your love 
But I win 
I win the breakup 

Bridge/break down: 
Hey hey I win I win 
Hey hey I win I win 

Chorus3: 
Im goin all out 
No stoppin me now 
Yeah I’m the champ girl, aint no turnin back 
Hold up while I take my victory lap 
I’m runner up when it comes to your love 
But I win 
I win the breakup

I Win (Written with Karianne Jean)

V1: 
First kiss first touch
First taste of love 
Feels like just yesterday a whole lifetime ago

This clocks two hands 
cant hold us down 
Cause when we’re together 
We never touch the ground 

Chorus:
We’re free like the birds flyin over georgia
We’re wild like the dandelions scattered in this field
We can out run, the sun, dancin to the beat of our own drum 
Like we’re young, cause we’re young 
Young as we’ll ever be

V2: 
The leaves will change
The snow will fall 
The earth keeps spinnin 
& we still have it all 

Chorus2:
We’re free like the birds flyin over georgia
We’re wild like the dandelions scattered in this field
We can out run, the sun, dancin to the beat of our own drum 
Like we’re young, cause we’re young 
Young as we’ll ever be

Bridge: 
We may be as old as we’ve ever been
But we’re young young young 

Chorus3:
We’re free like the birds flyin over georgia
We’re wild like the dandelions scattered in this field
We can out run, the sun, dancin to the beat of our own drum 
Like we’re young, cause we’re young 
Young as we’ll ever be

John Ray Watts (Songwriter)
