Bottom Line (Live at the Jolly Fox)

I've been living in this town for quite sometime

It's been 18 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

200 miles to go, who would believe that

I would go this far without ever turning back?

Here I go, packing light to head down that road

And I know, this life will lead beyond my soul

But I'll still have my pride

In nothin', yeah, but that bottom line

The bands been on the road now, for quite sometime

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 the stage each night, were captured by the sound

Singing the 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 will lead beyond our souls

But we still have my pride

In nothin', yeah, but that bottom line

30 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 music that we like

Almost for free, for nothing but that bottom line

So here we go, packing light down the road

And we know the life will lead beyond my souls

But we still have our pride

In nothin'

Here we go, packing light down the road

And we know the life will lead beyond my souls

But we still have our pride

In nothin', yeah, but that bottom line

We feel very fortunate to be doing what we're doin'

And we owe it all to you folks
