Bottle In My Hand Lyrics


Hayes Carll Bottle In My Hand

Well, I followed my feet all across this land

A tune in my heart and a bottle in my hand

From the cold, cold East to the woods out West

Ain't no home, just lucky I guess

I've seen the sunrise over the water

Howl at the moon by the amber's glow

Stole me a kiss from the barman's daughter

Threw on my peg and away I go

Well, it looks like rain and it taste like hell

Ain't nobody ever wished me well

Tried to make a stayin' in the welfare line

I ain't seen free in a long long time

Well, every town is gone by morning

Hitch to another till the sun goes down

Found me a box car, one of two brothers

Take out a bottle and pass it 'round

There's trouble at the border and a far of war

All in the water and a shut down store

The big bank's closing and the world ain't 'round

Jail filled up and the deal gone down

But I got all I need on the highway

Little bit of luck and rainbows too

Singing little song for the ones who ramble

Hard to carry on like the way we do

Now I've had friends who've walked that line

Spend life workin' for a nickel and a dime

They come home ragged at the end of their day

Feed on the table [Incomprehensible]

Sometimes I might have to wonder

How's it gonna end for a man like me

Slept with rain and danced with the thunder

I get a little bit old, I get a little bit old

I get a little, tune on the fiddle

And then I'll be on my way

Followed my feet all across this land

Tune in my heart and a bottle in my hand

The mountains in the East and woods out West

Ain't no home, just lucky I guess

Never had a home just lucky I guess
