Broken Branches (feat. John Anderson, Riley Green)

Once upon a time there was a farmer Planted roots down in the holler By the water on the riverbank He watered it with whiskey So it grew a little tipsy But that S.O.B. still kickin' Like it ain't no thang But there's one thing that's true It dropped some rotten fruit And them apples ain't fell far Hell they rolled right in this bar Drinkin' all night long Till the lights come on Spendin' paycheck money Singin' jukebox songs Blame it on our bloodline For lovin' us a good time Soakin' up the neon light We're the never stood a chancer's hangin' out in the breeze A bunch of broken branches off the family tree We shoulda gone to college Coulda gained a little knowledge Maybe then we would be smart enough to change our ways We're just repeat offenders Mixin' liquor in a blender Turnin' Mondays into benders Like we just got paid But around 4:45 Only one thing's on our mind Findin' us a Delta dime Draggin' boots to closing time Drinkin' all night long Till the lights come on Spendin' paycheck money Singin' jukebox songs Blame it on our bloodline For lovin' us a good time Soakin' up the neon light We're the never stood a chancer's hangin' 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 stickin' around Drinkin' all night long Till the lights come on Spendin' paycheck money Singin' old Hank songs Blame it on our bloodlines For lovin' us a good time Soakin' up some neon lights We're the never stood a chancer's hangin' out in the breeze A bunch of broken branches off the family tree That's right
