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 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 kicking my ass  Everytime 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 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
