I got a job, and my name′s Joe

Spend my days at the Texaco

Never show up lateNever show up drunk

'Cause when I get half lit, I′m a loaded gun

Made a couple of wrong turns, did county time

I do everything I can to stay between the lines

I got a couple of good buddies that all stop in

Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?"

I can't complain, I′m doin′ alright

Sleepin' pretty good, staying dry

Thank the Lord every mornin′ with a sweet Amen

For how far I've come from, where I been

So here′s to good days, 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 of good buddies that all stop in

Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?"

I can′t complain, I'm doin' alright

Sleepin′ pretty good, staying dry

Thank the Lord every mornin′ with a sweet Amen

For how far I've come from, where I been

So here′s to good days, better tomorrows

And a light, at the end of the bottle

Here's to good days, here′s to livin'

And here′s to old sins, being forgiven

And a bunch of good buddies that all drop in

Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?"

I can't complain, I′m doin′ alright

Sleepin' pretty good, staying dry

Thank the Lord every mornin′ with a sweet Amen

For how far I've come from, where I been

So here′s to good days, better tomorrows

And a light, at the end of the bottle

At the end of the bottle
