Karaoké Better Than the Bottle Cody Jinks

This mornin' an old runnin' buddy dropped by

It was good to see the clear in his eyes

The coffee was black but no more cigarettes

Been layin' things down one habit at a time

Never thought we'd get old

Now we're damn sure tryin'

Makin' the most of the time we have left

We've lived a little harder than the rest

Sore like hell we'd never slow down

The money we'd burn when we'd paint the town

Rollin' like we'd never see tomorrow

We were chasin' that high

We had time to borrow

We were out of control like the James-Younger brothers

We were hard on ourselves

We were bad for each other

Some livin's been done and we pulled back on the throttle

Still a vice or two but they're better than the bottle

Just talkin' and thinkin' on the wilder days and the friends that we lost

It came back to Jay

We'll never know of the problems that he knew

We were lucky enough to slip on through the cracks

Outrun the devil and the plans that he had

Lookin' back now back then there were no regrets

We lived a little harder than the rest

Swore like hell we'd never slow down

The money we'd burn when we'd paint the town

Rollin' like we'd never see tomorrow

We were chasin' that high

We had time to borrow

We were out of control like the James-Younger brothers

We were hard on ourselves

We were bad for each other

Some livin's been done and we pulled back on the throttle

Swore like hell we'd never slow down

All the money we'd burn when we'd paint the town

Rollin' like we'd never see tomorrow

We were chasin' that high

We had time to borrow

We were out of control like the James-Younger brothers

We were hard on ourselves

We were bad for each other

Some livin's been done and we pulled back on the throttle

Still a vice or two but they're better than the bottle

Yeah we still got a vice or two but they're better than the bottle

We're better than the bottle
