Tennessee Bottle

歌曲歌詞

I broke the law and I used a gun

I broke the Ten Commandments one by one

I always wished that I had a son

Just to teach him not to

I lived in the valley and I hid in the hills

I stole moonshine from illegal stills

Folks said don’t rile him cause he may kill

But only if I’ve got to

All I want is a Tennessee bottle

All I need is an Arkansas bride

All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise

And 500 miles to hide my life life life to hide my life

To hide my life

I tried to farm and I tried to mine

I tried cuttin’ on the timberline

But pain and sweat was all I’d find

Rewarding all my labor

So I robbed banks and I robbed trains

I lost one eye in a poker game

I gave up gambling cause it’s such a shame

To cheat your friends and neighbors

All I want is a Tennessee bottle

All I need is an Arkansas bride

All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise

And 500 miles to hide my life life life to hide my life

To hide my life

I think I’m gonna quit and change my ways

Settle down and live an honest day

Someone said that crime don’t pay

But I gotta ’nuff to live on
