Lyrics
0:14Eighty five miles out of Nashville
0:16Thinkin' about the way things change
0:18Try an' keep it by the reigns
0:20I'm a lone drifter big money flipper
0:23Take anything you got on
0:25The rocks in a snifter
0:27I missed her in Kentucky
0:28Went down to Louisiana
0:30I never had no lovin' like
0:31I had in Alabama
0:33A man of my word and ain't
0:35Out to hurt nobody
0:36I'm just a M C to keep the
0:38Boogie in the party
0:39Been singin' lodi dodi
0:41Since eighty four and
0:43I'll be singin' lodi dodi
0:44'Til I'm eighty four
0:46I couldn't ask for more
0:47Life's been sweet
0:49So you can save the planet
0:50I'll save your seat
0:52I been gone for weeks
0:54I ain't slept in days
0:55I can't find myself in
0:57This self made maze
0:58It's been so long since I've been fine
1:02I'm just tryin' to see the
1:03Bottom of this bottle of wine
1:05And I know I'll see better days
1:11Well I know you'll see things my way
1:18I never thought about change until
1:21I spend a little time where
1:23Time stood still
1:24Been lookin' for a mill but
1:26I keep comin' up shy
1:27I been a broke fool I ain't
1:29Tryin' to be that guy
1:30Wanna ride like lightning
1:32Roll like thunder
1:34I'm tryin' to get some money
1:35I ain't getting any younger
1:37At times I wonder at times I won't
1:40Sometimes I give a f**k but
1:42Most times I don't
1:45Even care through stained glass
1:48Windows these eyes stare
1:50I try to stay straight
1:51But it's kickin' my ass
1:53Every time I look ahead
1:54I get a glimpse of the past
1:56I sit half mass like a soldier's flag
1:59That's why my left leg
2:00Limps and my Dickies sag
2:02It's been so long since
2:04I've been fine
2:06I'm just tryin' to see the
2:07Bottom of this bottle of wine
2:09And I know I'll see better days
2:15Well I know you'll see things my way
2:22And I know I'll see better days
2:28Well I know you'll see things my way
2:48Well I been all around
2:48This crooked land
2:50I come across walks
2:52I shook Jim Beam's hand
2:54I got no plans and no place to go
2:57It keep getting harder to just say no
3:00I see the people laugh and people cry
3:03That's how some live and
3:05That's how some die
3:07Well me myself I'm sit right here
3:10And I'm a watch this
3:11World break down in tears
3:13All my fears and dark gray skies
3:16Couldn't crack my smile or
3:18Break my stride
3:19Got too much pride
3:21I got too much shout
3:22I might be down but
3:24I still ain't out
3:26I got too much time and
3:27That's all I have
3:29When I leave this world
3:30I'll still be sad
3:32It's been so long since
3:34I've been fine
3:35I'm just tryin' to see
3:36The bottom of this bottle of wine
3:38And I know I'll see better days
3:45Well I know you'll see things my way
3:51And I know I'll see better days
3:57Well I know you'll see things my way
