Joe Nichols Bottle It Up
[Verse 1]
Curly headed babies running wild in the yard
Catching fireflies while the day goes dark
Dogs on the front porch dreaming 'bout a rabbit
Halfway working through a six pack habit
Porch swing kissing on the love of my life
Wishing just once I could take tonight
[Chorus]
And bottle it up and put it away
Bottle it up for a rainy day
Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in
I'll be sipping this summer on ice again
It tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't but buddy if I could
I'd bottle it up, yeah bottle it up
[Verse 2]
Old farm truck kicking driveway dust
Mama 'n them all waving at us
Didn't mean to bother, just passing on by
Got a bucket full of chicken and a pecan pie
Nothing going on gonna make the front page
Just a country's boys dream getting better with age
[Chorus]
We oughta bottle it up, put it away
Bottle it up for a rainy day
Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in
I'll be sipping this summer on ice again
Ya tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't but buddy if I could
I'd bottle it up, yeah bottle it up
[Bridge]
Life ain't no big riddle
Just Jesus and the Devil
And the people in the middle
Time just keeps on ticking
Every now and then
Take a blessing you're given
[Chorus]
And bottle it up, put it away
Bottle it up for a rainy day
Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in
I'll be sipping this summer on ice again
Ya tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't but buddy if I could
I'd bottle it up, yeah bottle it up
[Outro]
I'd pull it off the shelf
And blow off the dust
I'd be a billionaire if I could sell this stuff
Bottle it up, yeah bottle it up
We oughta bottle it up
Yeah bottle it up, bottle it up
