Bottle It Up

Curly headed babies running wild in the yard

Catching fireflies while the day goes dark

Dogs on the front porch dreaming 'bout a rabbit

Halfway working through a six pack habit

Porch swing kissing on the love of my life

Wishing just once I could take tonight

And bottle it up and put it away

Bottle it up for a rainy day

Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in

I’ll be sipping this summer on ice again

It tastes so sweet and it feels so good

I know I can't but buddy if I could

I'd bottle it up, yeah bottle it up

Old farm truck kicking driveway dust

Mama 'n them all waving at us

Didn't mean to bother, just passing on by

Got a bucket full of chicken and a pecan pie

Nothing going on gonna make the front page

Just a country's boys dream getting better with age

We oughta bottle it up, put it away

Bottle it up for a rainy day

Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in

I'll be sipping this summer on ice again

Ya tastes so sweet and it feels so good

I know I can't but buddy if I could

I'd bottle it up, yeah I'd bottle it up

Life ain't no big riddle

Just Jesus and the Devil

And the people in the middle

Time just keeps on ticking

Every now and then

Take a blessing you're given

And bottle it up, put it away

Bottle it up for a rainy day

Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in

I'll be sipping this summer on ice again

Ya tastes so sweet and it feels so good

I know I can't but buddy if I could

I'd bottle it up, yeah bottle it up

I'd pull it off the shelf

And blow off the dust

I'd be a billionaire if I could sell this stuff

Bottle it up, yeah bottle it up

We oughta bottle it up

Yeah bottle it up, bottle it up
