Houston County Sky

Oh, pour me up a drink, there's a bottle and a seat I'm only halfway to crazy by now We're past that breaking point, past that road of choice And there ain't nothin' left in this town I thought by now I'd've figured shit out You and me, we got some bad reputations We dance 'round like thieves in the night I bet your halo could use some reconsideration But it's the only thing that makes this all right Heaven knows time ain't slowin' down Yeah, we still kick around Our same ol' stomping grounds And life, it'll pass you by As you drink all through the night Under a Houston County sky So roll me up a smoke, I'll take a toke for hope I'm only halfway to 80 by now You was a Peanut Queen, I was 17 and mean You wanted so bad to leave this town Ain't it funny how it all works out Ain't nothin' left but making love and raising babies There ain't nothing wrong with the simple life Hey darling, I love you, but the smoke is gettin' hazy Maybe we should just get drunk and fight Down at The Gin on a Saturday night Heaven knows time ain't slowin' down Yeah, we still kick around Our same ol' stomping grounds And life, it'll pass you by As you drink all through the night Under a Houston County sky Heaven knows time ain't slowin' down Yeah, we still kick around Our same ol' stomping grounds And life, it'll pass you by As you drink all through the night Under a Houston County sky A Houston County sky A Houston County sky
