[Intro]

[Verse 1]
A Once upon a time there was a farmer A Planted roots down in the holler A By the water on the riverbank D He watered it with whiskey D So it grew a little tipsy A But that S.O.B. still kickin' A Like it ain't no thang E But there's one thing that's true D It dropped some rotten fruit A And them apples ain't fell far A Hell they rolled right in this bar
[Chorus]
A Drinkin' all night long A Till the lights come on A Spendin' paycheck money A Singin' jukebox songs D Blame it on our bloodline G For lovin' us a good time A Soakin' up the neon light E A D We're the never stood a chancer's hangin' out in the breeze A A bunch of broken branches off the family tree
[Verse 2]
A We shoulda gone to college A Coulda gained a little knowledge A Maybe then we would be smart enough to change our ways D We're just repeat offenders D Mixin' liquor in a blender A Turnin' Mondays into benders A Like we just got paid E But around 4:45 D Only one thing's on our mind A Findin' us a Delta dime A Draggin' boots to closing time
[Chorus]
A Drinkin' all night long A Till the lights come on A Spendin' paycheck money A Singin' jukebox songs D Blame it on our bloodline G For lovin' us a good time A Soakin' up the neon light E A D We're the never stood a chancer's hangin' out in the breeze A A bunch of broken branches off the family tree
[Guitar Solo]
A D A D A
[Chorus]
E Yeah, they tried for generations to cut us down D But I'll go out on a limb and say we're stickin' around
[Chorus]
A Drinkin' all night long A Till the lights come on A Spendin' paycheck money A Singin' jukebox songs D Blame it on our bloodline G For lovin' us a good time A Soakin' up the neon light E A D We're the never stood a chancer's hangin' out in the breeze A A bunch of broken branches off the family tree A That's right
[Outro]
