My life was as empty As the bottle by my bed My friends turned into strangers And I was all but dead Jesus came and found me there That day those demons bled When my life was as empty As the bottle by my bed My first taste of the spirit Brought me to my knees I knew that I was helpless I prayed Lord help me please Each time was the last time That's what I always said When my life was as empty As the bottle by my bed (Chorus) By my bed Everthing seemed further Out of reach And in my head Oh I found it hard To practice what I preached Now I'm going back home It's down this path I'm led And I'm no longer empty Like the bottle by my bed Sometimes this road gets lonesome And I wish that I could fly Don't be afraid to stop me When I pass you by We'll sit and watch the sun go down As the waters turn to red If you like I could tell you About the bottle by my bed (Chorus) By my bed Everthing seemed further Out of reach And in my head Oh I found it hard To practice what I preached Now I'm going back home It's down this path I'm led And I'm no longer empty Like the bottle by my bed
