Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eighty-five miles out of Nashville
Thinkin' 'bout the way things change
Tryna keep it by the reigns
I'm a lone drifter, big money flipper
Take anything ya got on the rocks in a snifter
[Verse 2]
I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana
I never had no lovin' 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 singin' lodi-dodi since '84
And I'll be singin' lodi-dodi till I'm 84
I couldn't ask for more, life's been sweet
So you can save the planet, I'll save your seat
[Verse 3]
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 tryna 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
[Verse 4]
I never thought about change until
I 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
[Verse 5]
Wanna ride like lightnin', roll like thunder
I'm tryin' to get some money, I ain't gettin' 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
[Verse 6]
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 mast 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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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 gettin' 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'ma watch this world break down in tears
[Verse 9]
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
I 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
[Verse 10]
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
