I got a job and my name's Joe
Spend my days at the Texaco
Never show up late, never show up drunk
'Cause when I get half lit, I'm a loaded gun
Made a couple wrong turns, did county time
Now I do everything I can to stay between the lines
I got a couple good buddies that all stop in
Say, "It's good to see ya brother, man, how ya been?"
I can't complain, I'm doin' alright
Sleepin' pretty good and stayin' dry
I thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet amen
For how far I come from where I been
So here's to good days and better tomorrows
And a light at the end of the bottle
Some battles are fought on foreign shores
And some are fought behind closed doors
Some fall from grace
Some lose their wings
Some find the peace salvation brings
I got a couple good buddies that all stop in
Say, "It's good to see ya brother, man, how ya been?"
I can't complain, I'm doin' alright
Sleepin' pretty good and stayin' dry
I thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet amen
For how far I come from where I been
So here's to good days and better tomorrows
And a light at the end of the bottle
Here's to good days, here's to livin'
Here's to old sins bein' forgiven
And a bunch of good buddies that all drop in
Say, "It's good to see ya brother, man, how ya been?"
I can't complain, I'm doin' alright
Sleepin' pretty good and stayin' dry
I thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet amen
For how far I come from where I been
So here's to good days and better tomorrows
And a light at the end of the bottle
At the end of the bottle
