Waylon Jennings — Time Between Bottles Of Wine

[Verse 1] With iron in my brain I'd laid down to rest Not caring if I live or die Woke up a freezing with rain pouring down So hard I can't open my eyes I been chased from the yard with dogs at my heels Searching for shelter at times But there's nothing so hard for a man on the bum [Chorus] As the time between bottles of wine The time between bottles of wine [Verse 2] Begging for pennies just one sweet taste Of the nectar that kills the man's soul Sweet piece of mind excuses my pride Just something that keep out the cold It's too late for me to start living again The good life is too far behind I never remember the things that I've had [Chorus] [Verse 3] If mama could see me she wouldn't believe I even resemble her son She would throw her life to make me a man And she's proud the child that she's done What one love created another destroyed The story is older than time The tale of a man who just can't stand The time between bottles of wine [Chorus]
