Cody Jinks Better Than The Bottle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This mornin' an old runnin' buddy dropped by
It was good to see the clear in his eyes
The coffee was black
But no more cigarettes
Been layin' things down one habit at a time
Never thought we'd get old
Now we're damn sure tryin'
And makin' the most of the time that we have left

[Pre-Chorus]
We've lived a little harder than the rest
[Chorus]
We swore like hell we'd never slow down
Money we'd burn when we'd paint the town
Rollin' like we'd never see tomorrow
We were chasin' that high
We had time to borrow
We were out of control
Like the James-Younger brothers
We were hard on ourselves
We were bad for each other
Some living's been done
And we pulled back on the throttle

[Post-Chorus]
Still a vice or two
But they're better than the bottle

[Verse 2]
Just talkin' and thinkin' on the wilder days
And the friends that we lost, it came back to jay
We'll never know of the problems that he knew
We were lucky enough to slip on through the cracks
And outrun the devil and the plans that he had
Lookin' back now Back then there were no regrets
[Pre-Chorus]
We lived a little harder than the rest

[Chorus]
We swore like hell we'd never slow down
Money we'd burn when we'd paint the town
Rollin' like we'd never see tomorrow
We were chasin' that high
We had time to borrow
We were out of control
Like the james-younger brothers
We were hard on ourselves
We were bad for each other
Some living's been done
And we pulled back on the throttle

[Instrumental Break)

[Chorus]
We swore like hell we'd never slow down
All the money we'd burn when we'd paint the town
Rollin' like we'd never see tomorrow
We were chasin' that high
We had time to borrow
We were out of control
Like the james-younger brothers
We were hard on ourselves
We were bad for each other
Some living's been done
And we pulled back on the throttle
[Post-Chorus]
Still a vice or two
But they're better than the bottle

[Outro]
Yeah we still got a vice or two
But they're better than the bottle
We're better than the bottle
