As recorded by Dierks Bentley feat. John Anderson & Riley Green (2025 release) Tune down 1/2 step [Intro] A [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] A
