Well, diamonds on the corner of her lipstick
Rubies shining with the gold
Wild night, women, and Cadillacs
Was helpless with no one to hold
She stood by the side of the doorway
With no where for a poor boy to run
Had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
And the bottle of whiskey won
She told me to watch from the window
As she gently powdered my nose
I told her I could not stay long
It was already too late to go
And it's funny how the small things don't matter
When you can't recall just what you done
Had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
The bottle of whiskey won
Her mama remembered my picture
And her daddy remembered my face
There were lawyers all over the city
And cowboys all over the place
In the morning the judge asked the jury
Can you tell me exactly what he has done?
He had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
And the bottle of whiskey won
Diamonds on the corner of her lipstick
Rubies shining with the gold
Wild night, women, and Cadillacs
I was helpless with no one to hold
She stood by the side of the doorway
There was no where for a poor boy to run
Had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night
And the bottle of whiskey won
Had a fight with a bottle of whiskey last night, oh yah
And the bottle of whiskey won
And the bottle of whiskey won
