Bottom of the Barrel Lyrics
I keep on laughing to keep from crying
I keep on dreaming to keep from dying
I keep on trying
Ain’t gonna stop
Get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
We all know someone who’s always hurtin’
The sun is shining they draw the curtain
One thing for certain
The pain ain’t gonna stop
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
You know the grass is always s greener in someone else’s yard
And the world is so much meaner when your heart is hard
I go out walking in any season
It could be rainin’ it could be freezin’
I don’t need no reason
It’s just so pleasing I can’t stop
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
I keep on dreaming to keep from dying
I keep on trying
Ain’t gonna stop
Get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
The sun is shining they draw the curtain
One thing for certain
The pain ain’t gonna stop
And then you float back on top
And the world is so much meaner when your heart is hard
It could be rainin’ it could be freezin’
I don’t need no reason
It’s just so pleasing I can’t stop
And then you float back on top
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top

pretty self explanitory. at one time or another we all reach the "bottom of the barrel" and theres just nothing we can do when we get there but to "float back on top"
This drinking song is painful, like a song sung by the officer of torture at Guantanamo Bay. Sing it again and it's the song sung by the survivor after set free.
