Once upon a timeThere was a farmer planting rootsDown in the holler by the water on the river bankHe watered it with whiskeySo it grew a little tipsyBut that SOB's still kicking like it ain't no thingThere's one thing that's trueIt dropped some rotten fruitAnd then apples ain't fell farHell, they wore right in this barDrinkin' all night long til' the lights come onSpending paycheck money singing jukebox songsBlame it on our bloodlineFor lovin' us a good timeSoaking up the neon lightWould've never stood a chanceJust hanging out in the breezeUp on a bunch of broken branchesOff the family treeWe should've gone to collegeCould've gained a little knowledgeMade it, did we, would weSmart enough to change our waysWe're just repeat offendersMixing liquor in a blenderTurning monday's into bendersLike we just got paidAround 4: 45, only one thing on our mindsEarnin' us a delta dimeDraggin' boots to closing timeDrinkin' all night long til the lights come onSpending paycheck money singing jukebox songsBlame it on our bloodlineFor lovin' us a good timeSoaking up the neon lightWe're the never stood a chance-rsJust hanging out in the breezeUp on a bunch of broken branchesOff the family treeWhole bunch of broken branchesYeah they tried for generations to cut us downBut I'll go out on a limbAnd say we're sticking aroundDrinkin' all night long til the lights come onSpending paycheck money singing old Hank songsBlame it on our bloodlineFor lovin' us a good timeSoaking up the neon lightWe're the never stood a chance-rsJust hanging out in the breezeThere's a bunch of broken branchesOff the family tree, that's rightHey Riley where are you goin'I've got a date tonightDate? Yeah I got a dateMan, you got the black sheep of the family right hereThere's a little girl in my neighborhoodThat ain't the only girl's you're chasingYeah, she's starting to get swingin'You know a good timeAlright see ya man
