Bottom Line

I've been living in this town for quite some time
 It's been eighteen 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
 A hundred miles to go, who would believe that
 I would go this far without ever turning back
 So here I go, packing light to head down that road
 And I know, this life I'll lead will beat on my soul
 But I still have my pride
 And nothing but that bottom line
 The band's been on the road now for quite some time
 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 that stage each night, we're captured by the sound
 Singing these 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 we'll lead will beat on our souls
 But we still have our pride
 And nothing but that bottom line
 ♪
 Thirty 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 the music that we like
 Almost for free, for nothing but that bottom line
 So here we go, packing light to head down that road
 And we know, this life we'll lead will beat on our souls
 But we still have our pride
 And nothing
 Here we go, packing light to head down that road
 And we know, this life we'll lead will beat on our souls
 But we still have our pride
 And nothing but that bottom line
