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 Lousiana 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 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 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 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 Don't Don't even care through stained glass windows these eyes 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 sholdier'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 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 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 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 been so long since I've been fine I'm just tryin' 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
