Broken Branches

Текст песни Dierks Bentley, John Anderson, Riley Green - Broken Branches

Once upon a time, there was a farmer planting roots
Down in the holler by the water on the river bank
He watered it with whiskey, so it grew a little tipsy
But that SOB's still kicking like it ain't no thing
But there's one thing that's true, it dropped some rotten fruit
And then apples ain't fell far, hell, they wore right in this bar

Drinkin' all night long til' the lights come on
Spending paycheck money singing jukebox songs
Blame it on our bloodline, for lovin' us a good time
Soaking up the neon light
Would've never stood a chance just hanging out in the breeze
A bunch of broken branches off the family tree

We should've gone to college, could've gained a little knowledge
Made it, did we, would we amart enough to change our ways
We're just repeat offenders, mixing liquor in a blender
Turning Mondays into benders like we just got paid
Around 4:45, only one thing on our minds
Earnin' us a delta dime, draggin' too close to closing time

Drinkin' all night long til the lights come on
Spending paycheck money singing jukebox songs
Blame it on our bloodline, for lovin' us a good time
Soaking up the neon light
We're the never stood a chance, just hanging out in the breeze
A bunch of broken branches off the family tree

Whole bunch of broken branches

Yeah, they tried for generations to cut us down
But I'll go out on a limb, and say we're sticking around

Drinkin' all night long til the lights come on
Spending paycheck money singing old Hank songs
Blame it on our bloodline for lovin' us a good time
Soaking up some neon light
We're the never stood a chance, just hanging out in the breeze
A bunch of broken branches off the family tree, that's right

Hey Riley, where are you goin'
I've got a date tonight
Date? Yeah, I got a date
Man, you got the black sheep of the family right here
There's a little girl in my neighborhood
That ain't the only girls you're chasing (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
(He's living in the dark) our little secret out there

Wish they were the black sheep
Yeah, shits starting to get swingin' now
Y'all have good time
Alright see ya man
