85 miles out of Nashville, thinking about 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 loving 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 sitting 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've 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 trying to see the bottom of this 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 looking for a mill, but I keep coming up shy I been a broke fool, I ain't trying to be that guy Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder I'm trying to get some money I ain't getting any younger At times I wonder at, at times I won't Sometimes I give a f**, but most times I don't Don't, don't even care Through stained gla** windows these eyes stare I try to stay straight but it's kicking my a**
Everytime I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past I sit half ma** 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 trying to see the bottom of this 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 getting harder to just say no I see the people laugh and people cry That's how some live and that's how some die Well me, myself I'm gonna sit right 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 trying to see the bottom of this 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
