By the Bottle

Boss man tryin' to break my back Workin' me sun up to after dark Well I'm too young to spend the day like that All I'm ever doin's working hard And the bills keep stackin' on up And they just won't pay themselves But I'm done working for the week Grab the 1800 off the shelf Cause I done tried all I can try no From AA down to Revival And I don't know what else to tell ya It's hard to change I only know this life one way By the bottle By the bottle Now everyday people come to hear me play From miles and miles away But the spotlight it ain't shinin' as a bright When everyday is just the same So soon as I get up off of a stage I grab the Henny and the MaryJane Smoke my grey skies a blue And wash my sins away Cause I done tried all I can try no From AA down to Revival And I don't know what else to tell ya It's hard to change I only know this life one way By the bottle By the bottle Come on and testify now
