0:11I broke the law and I used a gun
0:14I broke the ten commandments one by one
0:17I always wished that I had a son
0:20Just to teach him not to
0:23I lived in the valley and I hid in the hills
0:26I stole moonshine from illegal stills
0:29Folks said Don't rile him 'cause he may kill
0:32But only if I've got to
0:35All I want is a tennessee bottle
0:40All I need is an arkansas bride
0:47All I can see is an ozark mountain sunrise
0:54And five miles to hide my life life life to hide my life
1:01To hide my life
1:07I tried to farm and I tried to mine
1:09I tried cuttin' on the timberline
1:12But pain and sweat was all I'd find
1:14Rewarding all my labor
1:18So I robbed banks and I robbed trains
1:21I lost one eye in a poker game
1:24I gave up gambling 'cause it's such a shame
1:27To cheat your friends and neighbors
1:30All I want is a tennessee bottle
1:36All I need is an arkansas bride
1:42All I can see is an ozark mountain sunrise
1:49And five miles to hide my life life life to hide my life
1:56To hide my life
2:02I think I'm gonna quit and change my ways
2:04Settle down and live an honest day
2:07Someone said that crime don't pay
2:09But I gotta 'nuff to live on
2:13I think I'm gonna move to little rock
2:16Leave my doors without a lock
2:19I might be a foot without a sock
2:21But I got cash to stand on
2:25All I want is a tennessee bottle
2:31All I need is an arkansas bride
2:37All I can see is an ozark mountain sunrise
2:44And five miles to hide my life life life to hide my life
2:51To hide my life
2:53To hide my life
3:05To hide my life
I broke the law and I used a gun I broke the ten commandments one by one I always wished that I had a son Just to teach him not to I lived in the valley and I hid in the hills I stole moonshine from illegal stills Folks said Don't rile him 'cause he may kill But only if I've got to All I want is a tennessee bottle All I need is an arkansas bride All I can see is an ozark mountain sunrise And five miles to hide my life life life to hide my life To hide my life I tried to farm and I tried to mine I tried cuttin' on the timberline But pain and sweat was all I'd find Rewarding all my labor So I robbed banks and I robbed trains I lost one eye in a poker game I gave up gambling 'cause it's such a shame To cheat your friends and neighbors All I want is a tennessee bottle All I need is an arkansas bride All I can see is an ozark mountain sunrise And five miles to hide my life life life to hide my life To hide my life I think I'm gonna quit and change my ways Settle down and live an honest day Someone said that crime don't pay But I gotta 'nuff to live on I think I'm gonna move to little rock Leave my doors without a lock I might be a foot without a sock But I got cash to stand on All I want is a tennessee bottle All I need is an arkansas bride All I can see is an ozark mountain sunrise And five miles to hide my life life life to hide my life To hide my life To hide my life To hide my life
