There's ice on the window Shots on the bar The charm of this place only stretches so far The blind dogs asleep on the old hardwood floor Cheap plastic Christmas tree, there by the door Salvation army bells ringing outside While I'm trying to crawl in this bottle and hide Bar stool is no place to spend Christmas eve I can't find the courage to get up and leave So take me home Alice Put me to bed This bottom shelf whiskey's gone straight to my head Stay with me Alice Sing me to sleep I'm only as good as the company I keep Some auto parts salesman is bending my ear The folks in this barroom are boring me to tears The same conversations, year after year Got nothing in common with anyone here So take me home Alice Put me to bed This bottom shelf whiskey's gone straight to my head Stay with me Alice Sing me to sleep I'm only as good as the company I keep Bills come too early And paychecks too late The kids have all grown up and moved out of state This town ain't the same as it used to be Alice says cheer up, the next ones on me Take me home Alice Put me to bed This bottom shelf whiskey's gone straight to my head Stay with me Alice Sing me to sleep I'm only as good as the company I keep I'm only as good as the company I keep I'm only as good as the company I keep
