Nothing On Me Lyrics - Little Victories - Chris Knight

Caught a .22 bullet in my thight one night 

tryin' to break up a barroom fight 

Went home dug it out with my old Case knife 

Broke down in a blizzard on the great divide 

Walked twenty miles till I caught a ride 

The Trooper said Boy it's a wonder you're still alive 

(chorus) 

I've rode hard luck, I been bruised and bucked 

I been hittin' the ground then I turn it around 

an gettin' back up 

Now they're layin' em off down in Kankakee 

And there's boards on the windows up and down the streets 

an they're sayin' that it's gonna get darker before the dawn 

But you can bet your ass I'll keep the lights on 

Keep my babies fed an' throw my dog a bone 

Cuz I'm a bring it on get her done don't run s.o.b. 

Times are tough 

But they ain't got nothin' on me 

I got a three legged dog I call Jake 

Got the won't back down scars on his face 

He tussled with a bear - came in second place 

He come's back home every now and then 

with some brand to scars and I have to grin 

Ya know I'm proud to call ole Jake my friend 

Cuz he's known hard luck 

He's been bruised and bucked 

He been hittin' the ground and he's turnin' around 

an gettin' back up 

Now they're layin' em off down in Kankakee 

And theres boards on the windows 

up and down the streets 

An they're sayin' that it's gonna get darker before the dawn 

But you can bet your ass I'll keeo the lights on 

Keep my babies fed an throw my dog a bone 

Times are tough but they ain't got nothin' on me 

Yeah times are tough but they ain't got nothin' on me
