[ti: Tennessee Bottle]
[length: 04:00]
[00:27.08]I broke the law and I used a gun
[00:28.63]I broke the Ten Commandments one by one
[00:29.39]I always wished that I had a son
[00:30.06]Just to teach him not to
[00:30.83]I lived in the valley and I hid in the hills
[00:31.67]I stole moonshine from illegal stills
[00:36.38]Folks said “Don’t rile him ’cause he may kill”
[00:37.05]But only if I’ve got to
[00:38.07]All I want is a Tennessee bottle
[00:40.07]All I need is an Arkansas bride
[00:46.35]All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise
[00:50.66]And 500 miles to hide my life, life, life, to hide my life
[00:59.93]To hide my life
[01:05.49]I tried to farm and I tried to mine
[01:07.94]I tried cuttin’ on the timberline
[01:10.45]But pain and sweat was all I’d find
[01:17.74]Rewarding all my labor
[01:18.48]So I robbed banks and I robbed trains
[01:21.94]I lost one eye in a poker game
[01:24.12]I gave up gambling ’cause it’s such a shame
[01:25.15]To cheat your friends and neighbors
[01:30.20]All I want is a Tennessee bottle
[01:36.78]All I need is an Arkansas bride
[01:39.08]All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise
[01:47.53]And 500 miles to hide my life, life, life, to hide my life
[01:52.04]To hide my life
[01:59.72]I think I’m gonna quit and change my ways
[02:02.01]Settle down and live an honest day
[02:04.79]Someone said that crime don’t pay
[02:07.32]But I gotta ’nuff to live on
[02:09.73]I think I’m gonna move to Little Rock
[02:13.78]Leave my doors without a lock
[02:16.05]I might be a foot without a sock
[02:18.62]But I got cash to stand on
[02:21.62]All I want is a Tennessee bottle
[02:31.88]All I need is an Arkansas bride
[02:34.70]All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise
[02:39.61]And 500 miles to hide my life, life, life, to hide my life
[02:45.84]To hide my life
