Bottom Line (Live)

I've been living in this town for quite sometime
It's been 18 years since I crossed that county line
And I sold almost everything that was mine
Now I'm leaving town with nothing but that bottom line

A hundred dollars and a half of a tank of gas
The shirt that's on my back, and an beat up Rangers cap
200 miles to go, who would believe that
I would go this far without ever turning back?

Here I go, packing light to head down that road
And I know, this life will lead beyond my soul
But I'll still have my pride
In nothin', yeah, but that bottom line

The bands been on the road now, for quite sometime
Hitting all the cities, neon sign to neon sign
Drowning in straight bourbon whiskey, beer and too much wine
Playing our songs for nothing but that bottom line

But on the stage each night, were captured by the sound
Singing the songs we write to a different town
'Cause there are people who believe in what we've found
They like the song we sing and that's why we hang around

So here we go, packing light to head down that road
And we know this life will lead beyond our souls
But we still have my pride
In nothin', yeah, but that bottom line

30 years from now on that marquee sign
You'll see our name lit up, misspelled, and live tonight
But we don't care, 'cause we play music that we like
Almost for free, for nothing but that bottom line

So here we go, packing light down the road
And we know the life will lead beyond my souls
But we still have our pride
In nothin'

Here we go, packing light down the road
And we know the life will lead beyond my souls
But we still have our pride
In nothin', yeah, but that bottom line

We feel very fortunate to be doing what we're doin'
And we owe it all to you folks
