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 ain�t out to hurt nobody
I�m jus a m c to keep the boogie in the party
Been singin� lodi dodi since 84 and
I�ll be singin� lodi dodi �til i�m 84
I couldn�t ask for more, life�s been sweet
So you can save the planet, i�ll save your seat

Bridge

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 this bottle of wine

Chorus

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 getting any younger
At times i wonder, at times i won�t
Sometimes i give a fuck but most times i don�t
�even care, through stained glass windows these eyes stare
I try to stay straight but it�s kickin� my ass
Every time 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 limps and my dickies sag
It�s been so long since i�ve been fine
I�m just tryin� to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

Repeat chorus

Well i been all around this crooked land
I come 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 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 too much time and that�s all i have
When i leave this world i�ll still be sad
It�s bee so long since i�ve been fine
I�m just tryin� to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

Repeat chorus
