[Verse 1]
That neon sign flickers like a memory
Barstool’s worn, kinda like my heart
Every sip’s just another old story
Of how we fell together, then fell apart

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t one for wishin’
But damn, I miss kissin’
The way you’d whisper my name
Now all I got’s this bourbon
And the hurtin’ keeps burnin’
Like that last time you walked away

[Chorus]
So I poured my heart in a bottle
Drowned my dreams in Tennessee gold
Took a shot for the way that I lost you
One more for the lies that I told
Every drop’s just a memory spillin’
Tryna find what I had and I lost
But I can’t wish on a whiskey
'Cause whiskey don’t give a damn what it cost

[Verse 2]
Ain’t no genie in this glass to save me
No magic in this 80 proof
Just a fool sittin’ here thinkin’ maybe
That the next drink will bring me to you

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t one for dreamin’
But damn, I’ve been schemin’
On how to turn back time
But there ain’t no rewindin’
When the truth comes shinin’
In the bottom of this glass tonight

[Chorus]
So I poured my heart in a bottle
Drowned my dreams in Tennessee gold
Took a shot for the way that I lost you
One more for the lies that I told
Every drop’s just a memory spillin’
Tryna find what I had and I lost
But I can’t wish on a whiskey
'Cause whiskey don’t give a damn what it cost

[Bridge]
Maybe I should put the glass down
Pick up the pieces instead
But when you leave a man with nothin’
He’ll chase nothin’ 'til he’s 

dead

[Chorus]
So I poured my heart in a bottle
Drowned my dreams in Tennessee gold
Took a shot for the way that I lost you
One more for the lies that I told
Every drop’s just a memory spillin’
Tryna find what I had and I lost
But I can’t wish on a whiskey
'Cause whiskey don’t give a damn what it cost

Heart in a Bottle

I'm lucky to have a day job that lets me travel to historic downtowns and see the great work being done in this places as they are coming back to life.  Much of this album was inspired by this work.  The sound is inspired by my favorite country artist, Brad Paisley.

BACKROAD RENEGADES

Exodus 3:10–12; 4:1, 10–13 | Judges 6:14–16 | Jeremiah 1:4–8 -- God often chooses people despite their perceived weakness. Reluctance is often rooted in comparing self-ability to the task rather than trusting God’s enabling power. God’s response is consistently His presence (“I will be with you”) and His equipping (“I will put the words in your mouth”).

LYRICS

Verse 1
I said, "Who am I to stand before a king?"
My voice is weak, I can’t speak the words You bring
But You said, "I Am is with you, I will guide"
So I lay down my fear, and I step into the light

Pre-Chorus
Every doubt, every trembling hand
Falls away when I hear Your plan
It’s not by my strength, not by my name
But by the power of the Great I Am

Chorus
Who am I, yet You call me?
Who am I, still You choose me?
Though I’m weak, You are strong in me
And I will go where You send me

Verse 2
I’m the least of these, the smallest in my land
I don’t see the warrior that You say I am
But You said, "I will be with you, do not fear"
So I take up my calling, ’cause I know You’re near

Pre-Chorus
Every doubt, every trembling hand
Falls away when I hear Your plan
It’s not by my strength, not by my name
But by the power of the Great I Am

Chorus
Who am I, yet You call me?
Who am I, still You choose me?
Though I’m weak, You are strong in me
And I will go where You send me

Verse 3
I said, "I’m too young, I don’t have the words to say"
But You put Your truth inside me anyway
You said, "Don’t be afraid, for I’ll go with you"
And the fire in my bones will see Your promise through

Pre-Chorus
Every doubt, every trembling hand
Falls away when I hear Your plan
It’s not by my strength, not by my name
But by the power of the Great I Am

Chorus
Who am I, yet You call me?
Who am I, still You choose me?
Though I’m weak, You are strong in me
And I will go where You send me

Who am I, yet You call me?
Who am I, still You choose me?
Though I’m weak, You are strong in me
And I will go where You send me

Yet You Call Me
