Musically familiar, yet in a different way. Something I could imagine Hank singing if he'd been backed by a rock 'n' roll band.
Written, performed, and produced by Tom O'Brien.

One night, I listened to a Hank Williams record and then I listened to a Zombies record, and then I wrote this song.

If I could put it in a bottle
I'd be a millionaire
The things you do to me girl
Are like a treasure rare
If I could put it in a bottle
And cork it up so tight
Then I could drink it at my leisure
On long and lonely nights
And, oh, if word gets out about
The things you do to me
They'll make a line around the block
And pay a buck to see
If I could put it in a bottle, etc.
Once I was a lonely guy
Who always played the fool
Playing love like playing games
I never learned the rules
Then you came and set me down
And sent me back to school
If I could put it in a bottle, etc.
Oh, it might have been and awful sin
The way you made me feel
But, I declare you take me there
And I know Heaven's real
If I could put it in a bottle
I'd be a milloinaire
The things you do to me girl
Are like a treasure rare
If I could put it in a bottle
And cork it up so tight
Then I could drink it at my leisure
On long and lonely nights
