Better Than The Bottle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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' And makin' the most of the time that we have left [Pre-Chorus] We've lived a little harder than the rest [Chorus] We swore like hell we'd never slow down 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 living's been done And we pulled back on the throttle [Post-Chorus] Still a vice or two But they're better than the bottle [Verse 2] 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 And outrun the devil and the plans that he had Lookin' back now Back then there were no regrets [Pre-Chorus] We lived a little harder than the rest [Chorus] We swore like hell we'd never slow down 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 living's been done And we pulled back on the throttle [Instrumental Break) [Chorus] We 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 living's been done And we pulled back on the throttle [Post-Chorus] Still a vice or two But they're better than the bottle [Outro] Yeah we still got a vice or two But they're better than the bottle We're better than the bottle
