| I’ve been beatin' the odds
|
| Been fightin' since the day I was born
|
| Grew up in the sticks where
|
| We get up for work before dawn
|
| Don’t need a damn thing
|
| Uncle Sam, just get out of my way
|
| All I need is freedom
|
| And to keep the other half of my pay
|
| Other half of my pay
|
| Where the whiskey still flows
|
| Back in the pines
|
| Back in these woods with
|
| Some good friends of mine
|
| I don’t need a damn thing
|
| But to be left alone
|
| We’ve been having the time of our lives
|
| Where the whiskey still flows
|
| Ain’t no Jesse James
|
| But I’ve had my trouble with the law
|
| Cause I smoke from the left hand
|
| Got a wild side about 10 miles long
|
| It comes from my Old Man
|
| And his Old Man and on down the line
|
| I’m a Son Of The Southland
|
| In the Southland that’s where I’ll die
|
| That’s where I’ll die
|
| Where the whiskey still flows
|
| Back in the pines
|
| Back in these woods with
|
| Some good friends of mine
|
| I don’t need a damn thing
|
| But to be left alone
|
| We’ve been having the time of our lives
|
| Where the whiskey still flows
|
| Knock em' out, John, it won’t be long
|
| Till I’m throwing one back to a Bocephus song
|
| How long I’ll be kickin' Good Lord only knows
|
| I’ll be having the time of my life
|
| Where the whiskey still flows
|
| I’ve been beatin' the odds
|
| Been fightin' since the day I was born |
