I've been living in this town for quite some time
It's been eighteen years since I crossed that county line
And I sold almost everything that was mine
Now I'm leaving town with nothing but that bottom line
A hundred dollars and a half of a tank of gas
The shirt that's on my back and an beat up Rangers cap
A hundred miles to go, who would believe that
I would go this far without ever turning back
So here I go, packing light to head down that road
And I know, this life I'll lead will beat on my soul
But I still have my pride
And nothing but that bottom line
The band's been on the road now for quite some time
Hitting all the cities, neon sign to neon sign
Drowning in straight bourbon whiskey, beer, and too much wine
Playing our songs for nothing but that bottom line
But on that stage each night, we're captured by the sound
Singing these songs we write to a different town
'Cause there are people who believe in what we've found
They like the song we sing, and that's why we hang around
So here we go, packing light to head down that road
And we know, this life we'll lead will beat on our souls
But we still have our pride
And nothing but that bottom line
♪
Thirty years from now on that marquee sign
You'll see our name lit up, misspelled, and live tonight
But we don't care, 'cause we play the music that we like
Almost for free, for nothing but that bottom line
So here we go, packing light to head down that road
And we know, this life we'll lead will beat on our souls
But we still have our pride
And nothing
Here we go, packing light to head down that road
And we know, this life we'll lead will beat on our souls
But we still have our pride
And nothing but that bottom line
