Tennessee Bottle Lyrics

I BROKE THE LAW AND USED A GUN
BROKE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ONE BY ONEALWAYS WISHED THAT I'D HAD A SON
JUST TO TEACH HIM NOT TO

I LIVED IN THE VALLEY AND I HID IN THE HILLS
I STOLE MOOSHINE FROM ILLEGAL STILLS
FOLKS SAID DON'T RILE HIM CAUSE HE MAY KILL
BUT ONLY IF I GOT TO

ALL I WANT IS A TENNESSEE BOTTLE
ALL I NEED IS AN ARKANSAS BRIDE
AND ALL I CAN SEE IS A MO'TOWN STYLIN SUNRISE
FIVE HUNDRED MILES TO HIDE MY LIFE, LIFE, LIFE
TO HIDE MY LIFE, TO HIDE MY LIFE

I TRIED TO FARM, I TRIED TO MINE
I TRIED CUTTIN' ON THE TENDER LINE
BUT PAIN AND SWEAT WAS ALL I'D FIND
REWARDIN' ALL MY LABOR
