Tennessee Bottle

[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
[03:11.76]
