                 JESUS IN A BOTTLE

I've spent Sunday mornings
Prayin' to porcelain gods
'Cause I worshipped Saturday night
You won't find Jesus in a bottle
- Lord knows I've tried

     I sat on a barstool
     For years like a darn fool
     Tryin' to find peace of mind

     But my search is over
     Now that I'm sober
     I thank God that He's in my life

So I'm here to tell you
Give up your decadent ways
'Cause you're wasting more than your time
You won't find Jesus in a bottle
- Lord knows I've tried

     I sat on a barstool
     For years like a darn fool
     Tryin' to find peace of mind

     But my search is over
     Now that I'm sobe
     I thank God that He's in my life

I've spent Sunday mornings
Prayin' to porcelain gods
'Cause I worshipped Saturday night
You won't find Jesus in a bottle
- Lord knows I've tried

You won't find Jesus in a bottle
- Lord knows I've tried

"Big Al" was (is?) drummer for Kostas (a well-known songwriter).
This was probably the second (maybe third) of a number of songs that Big Al and I wrote together.  At first he'd pretty much just give me titles, and I'd write the rest of the song.  That's the way it was for this one, but I do seem to remember that he helped me tweak the lyric a little.  For the record, we wrote some that way - Al supplied titles - but Al started writing more and more in our collaborations as time went on.  He worked REALLY hard at writing, and I saw him become a fine writer.   - Jeff
