85 miles out of nashville, thinkinand' bout
the way things change
try an keep it by the reigns
iand'm a lone drifter, big money flipper
take anything you got on the rocks in snifter
i missed her in kentucky, went down to louisiana
i never had no lovinand' like i had in alabama
a man of my word ainand't out to hurt nobody
iand'm just a m c to keep the boogie in the party
been singinand' lodi dodi since 84
and iand'll be singin lodi dodi and'til iand'm 84
i couldnand't ask for more, lifeand's been sweet
so you can save the planet,
iand'll save your seat
Bridge
i been gone for weeks, i ainand't slept days
i canand't find myself in this self made maze
itand's been so long since iand've been fine
iand'm just tryinand' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
and i know iand'll see better days
well i know youand'll see things my way
i never thought about change until
spend a little time where time stodd still
been lookinand' for a mill but i keep cominand' up shy
i been a broke fool, i ainand't tryinand' to be that guy
wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder
iand'm tryin to get some money, i ainand't getting any younger
at times i wonder, at times i wonand't
sometimes i give a fuck but most times i donand't
...even care, through stained glass windows these eyes stare
i try to stay straight but itand's kickinand' my ass
every time i look ahead i get a glimpse of the past
i sit half mass like a soldierand's flag
thatand's why my left leg limps and my dickies sag
itand's been so long since iand've been fine
iand'm just tryinand' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
and i know iand'll see better days
well i know youand'll see things my way
and i know iand'll see better days
well i know youand'll see things my way
weel i been around this crooked land
i come across walks, i shook jim beamand's hand
i got no plans and no place to go
it keep getting harder to just say no
i see the people laugh and people cry
thatand's how some live and thatand's how some die
well me myself iand'm gonna sit right here
and iand'm a watch this world break down in tears
all my fears and dark grey skies
couldnand't crack my smile or break my stride
got too much pride, i got too much shout
i might be down but i still ainand't out
got too much time and thatand's all i have
when i leave this world iand'll still be sad
itand's been so long since iand've been fine
iand'm just tryin; to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
and i know iand'll see better days
well i know youand'll see things my way
and i know iand'll see better days
well i know youand'll see things my way
