Hart, Beth - At The Bottom Lyrics






Holding my breath not taking a step
The good church has closed it's doors on me
God don't like my dirty feet
Burning the lawn everyone's gone
Ain't no barbeque going on today
I drink my dinner in the shade

Days and days go by
Children laughing still I don't smile at all
Mary's calling to me can't you see what I see
She would never let me down

It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here

Been living a lie my kisses are dry
I got nowhere else left to run
My love is blind deaf and dumb
Heaven can't wait to lock up the gate
Tell me that I never could belong
I had my chance but got it wrong

Days and days go by
Children laughing still I don't smile at all
Mary's calling to me can't you see what I see
She would never let me down

It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here

Mother Mary stay with me don't let me die
You're the only good part left of my trash
God knows I can't change me
I've tried and tried I never meant to make you cry

It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here

    wow, I cried when I heard this song for the first time just now. Beth, it was like u reached into my heart and translated my emotions into song. Thank u for allowing us the honor of sharing a piece your heart & soul, pain & passion. Maybe it's selfish to want to know others have felt this way...idk...but I do know I desperately needed to hear this & needed to know that other people have felt this too & survived. I don't feel so lost abandoned & alone now. THANK U, BETH!!

    J.... D....

    +Jane Dough you said it the best!!!

    J.... D....

    Your definitely not alone … I was an addict for years and just recently had 9 years sober ... Survived? No... As an addict I think its still a fight, I can never let myself think the fight is over...

  17. M.... W....

    You are an amazing artist. I feel every word you sing like a piercing arrow. I am drawn to your work like a drug. You are so good i cannot even remember who my favorite artist was before you. Play on and i hope to see you in person because i heard you are an amazing hugger.

  18. L.... F....

    Why all the fear of her acknowledgement of God being a part of her life and her belief.  She is telling her story her way.

  19. S.... W....

    You cannot talk about the song, or Beth Hart without God. GOD gave her her talent, GOD saved her out of addiction, and GOD helped her with her Bi Polar- ask her- she will tell you. This is an amazing song of victory. Screw religion, it kills- but God- God is the way to freedom and Heaven. I love you Beth, sincerely.

    S.... W....

    Well said Shaianne!!! screw religion!!

    S.... W....

    Thankee!

    S.... W....

    OK, give God credit where it is due, but don't lose sight of the fact that it is the individual who does the hard work! It's the addict working to learn how to change and grow. I have NEVER met a true addict who simply received a BAM from God and stopped. A nudge from God, and then years of hard work. Faith void works is dead, dead, dead. Kiddos to Beth H., and EVERY other addict doing today's work to stay in remission, Just for Today. 7,844 Just for Today's. Hugs........

    S.... W....

    No, God had nothing to do with it. SHE trained, SHE refused to give p in the face of defeat, SHE IS herself, and your beliefe in "God, is no different than that of Ghost, you can't see him, hear him, or prove hes there. Fuck with me again woman, I have met this woman personally, she has no desire for religious nutcases like you.

  20. B.... ....

    To me this song this song could be interpreted to be about having been "at the bottom" for so long in a dark place in your life and finally getting out and into the light not knowing how she "made it here." Kind of like looking back on the pain and not being able to comprehend how you got out of it.

    B.... ....

    You have to want it bad enough, work through the pain... everyday just gets better! She is Fabulous Respects and Love

  21. G.... '....

    Thank you Beth Hart

  22. p.... ....

    This song is just another example of Beth Harts brilliance.. She's in a league of her own.. Nobody can sing and write like Beth... Just Brilliant....

  23. c.... ....

    "i think this is not a religious song." YOU think...how can you be so pretentious as to tell us what to think this song is about? And then have the nerve to show your frustration at the end of your shallow comment? Personal experiences, knowledge, state of mind, etc is what makes a song "talk" to us on a personal level. This song could be religious to some, uplifting, conquering, sad, motivational, tolerating, etc, etc to many others. PEACE AND LOVE? May want to add tolerance to your tag name.

  24. K.... W....

    Like any good song, it has the meaning the artist intended, while remaining open to the interpretations of those who hear it. It is one of those songs that can fit almost ANY person's inner struggles, and hold the light for them to find their way out. My brother called this song "uplifting", for me it was exactly the opposite when I first heard it, but now I can see his point.

  25. x.... ....

    prefer the live version, but this is great too. she is so intense, an amazing artist.

  26. P.... B....

    Just an amazing song,

  27. p.... ....

    i think this is not a religious song. its just saying how shes made it to the bottom and she wants out....it has nothing to do with hell god mary shes calling for help but thats not the point of the song...god you ppl cant understand a message of a song if ur life depended on it

  28. E.... V....

    @hayjustin1990 sorry i dont believe and never will be..so this is a wasted off time

    E.... V....

  29. E.... V....

    @hayjustin1990 can you please talk about the song and not about god...

    E.... V....

    "Mother Mary stay with me" Give me a break Totally religious Don't pick.Unattractive Point is "shes
    brilliant "

  30. E.... V....
