Bottle In My Hand Lyrics - Kmag Yoyo (& Other American Stories) - Hayes Carll

Well, I followed my feet all across this land 

A tune in my heart and a bottle in my hand 

From the cold, cold East to the woods out West 

Ain't no home, just lucky I guess 

I've seen the sunrise over the water 

Howl at the moon by the amber's glow 

Stole me a kiss from the barman's daughter 

Threw on my peg and away I go 

Well, it looks like rain and it taste like hell 

Ain't nobody ever wished me well 

Tried to make a stayin' in the welfare line 

I ain't seen free in a long long time 

Well, every town is gone by morning 

Hitch to another till the sun goes down 

Found me a box car, one of two brothers 

Take out a bottle and pass it 'round 

There's trouble at the border and a far of war 

All in the water and a shut down store 

The big bank's closing and the world ain't 'round 

Jail filled up and the deal gone down 

But I got all I need on the highway 

Little bit of luck and rainbows too 

Singing little song for the ones who ramble 

Hard to carry on like the way we do 

Now I've had friends who've walked that line 

Spend life workin' for a nickel and a dime 

They come home ragged at the end of their day 

Feed on the table [Incomprehensible] 

Sometimes I might have to wonder 

How's it gonna end for a man like me 

Slept with rain and danced with the thunder 

I get a little bit old, I get a little bit old 

I get a little, tune on the fiddle 

And then I'll be on my way 

Followed my feet all across this land 

Tune in my heart and a bottle in my hand 

The mountains in the East and woods out West 

Ain't no home, just lucky I guess 

Never had a home just lucky I guess
