Tennessee Bottle |
| I broke the law and I used a gun |
| I broke the Ten Commandments one by one |
| I always wished that I had a son |
| Just to teach him not to |
| I lived in the valley and I hid in the hills |
| I stole moonshine from illegal stills |
| Folks said «Don't rile him 'cause he may kill» |
| But only if I’ve got to |
| All I want is a Tennessee bottle |
| All I need is an Arkansas bride |
| All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise |
| And 500 miles to hide my life, life, life, to hide my life |
| To hide my life |
| I tried to farm and I tried to mine |
| I tried cuttin' on the timberline |
| But pain and sweat was all I’d find |
| Rewarding all my labor |
| So I robbed banks and I robbed trains |
| I lost one eye in a poker game |
| I gave up gambling 'cause it’s such a shame |
| To cheat your friends and neighbors |
| All I want is a Tennessee bottle |
| All I need is an Arkansas bride |
| All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise |
| And 500 miles to hide my life, life, life, to hide my life |
| To hide my life |
| I think I’m gonna quit and change my ways |
| Settle down and live an honest day |
| Someone said that crime don’t pay |
| But I gotta 'nuff to live on |
| I think I’m gonna move to Little Rock |
| Leave my doors without a lock |
| I might be a foot without a sock |
| But I got cash to stand on |
| All I want is a Tennessee bottle |
| All I need is an Arkansas bride |
| All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise |
| And 500 miles to hide my life, life, life, to hide my life |
| To hide my life |
