I got too much time and that's all I have
Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder
And I know I'll see better days
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

I see the people laugh and people cry
All my fears and dark gray skies

I got no plans and no place to go
I been gone for weeks, I ain't slept in days
It keep getting harder to just say no
I sit half mass like a soldier's flag

And I know I'll see better days
I'm tryin' to get some money, I ain't getting any younger
Couldn't crack my smile or break my stride

Well I know you'll see things my way
When I leave this world I'll still be sad
Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter
I couldn't ask for more, life's been sweet
It's been so long since I've been fine
And I know I'll see better days
I never had no lovin' like I had in Alabama
And I'm a watch this world break down in tears
Even care, through stained glass windows these eyes stare
Well, I know you'll see things my way

Well me myself I'm gonna sit right here
So you can save the planet, I'll save your seat

Sometimes I give a fuck but most times I don't
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
It's been so long since I've been fine
I might be down but I still ain't out
And I know I'll see better days
I spend a little time where time stood still
Been lookin' for a mill but I keep comin' up shy
I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana
Well, I know you'll see things my way
I'm a lone drifter big money flipper
Been singin' lodi dodi since eighty four and
I'm just a M C to keep the boogie in the party
I come across walks, I shook Jim Beam's hand
I try to stay straight but it's kickin' my ass
I can't find myself in this self made maze
Well, I know you'll see things my way
At times I wonder, at times I won't
Well, I been all around this crooked land
Got too much pride, I got too much shout
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
I'll be singin' lodi dodi 'til I'm eighty four
That's how some live and that's how some die
And I know I'll see better days
Well I know you'll see things my way

I been a broke fool, I ain't tryin' to be that guy
I never thought about change until
Every time I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past

A man of my word and ain't out to hurt nobody
