85 miles out of Nashville
thinkin bout the way things change Try an keep it by the reigns I m a lone drifter
big money flipper Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter I missed her in Kentucky
went down to Louisiana I never had no lovin like I had in Alabama A man of my word and out to hurt nobody I m just a mc to keep the boogie in the party Been sittin lodi dodi since 84 and I ll be sittin lodi dodi till I m eighty four I couldn t ask for more
life s been sweet So you can save the planet I ll save your seat I been gone for weeks
I ain t slept in days I can t find myself in this self made maze It s been so long since I ve been fine I m just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine And I know I ll see better days Well I know you ll see things my way I never thought about change until Spend a little time where time stood still Been lookin for a mill
but I keep comin up shy I been a broke fool
I ain t tryin to be that guy Wanna ride like lightning
roll like thunder I m tryin to get some money I ain t gettin any yonger At times I wonder at
at times I won t Sometimes I give a fuck
but most times I don t Don t
don t even care Through stained glass windows these eyse stare I try to stay straight but it s kickin my ass Everytime I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past I sit half mass like a soldier s flag That s why my left leg limp s and my Dickies sag It s been so long since I ve been fine I m just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine And I know I ll see better days Well I know you ll see things my way And I know I ll see better days Well I know you ll see things my way Well I been all around this crooked land I came across all walks
I shook Jim Beam s hand I got no plans and no place to go It keeps gettin harder to just say no I see the people laugh and I see the people cry That s how some live and that s how some die Well me
myself I m gonna sit righ here And I m a watch this this world break down in tears All my fears and dark gray skies Couldn t crack my smile or break my stride Got too much pride
I got too much shout I might be down
but I still ain t out Got to much time and that s all I have When I leave this world I ll still be sad It s been so long since I ve been fine I m just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine And I know I ll see better days Well I know you ll see things my way And I know I ll see better days Well I know you ll see things my way |
