Blackberry Smoke - Son of the Bourbon
My mama drank scotch whiskey and my daddy drank Jim Beam
I was conceived just outside of New Orleans
Told my ma he loved her while Elvin Bishop played
That would be the worst mistake my mama ever made
Chorus:
I a son of the bourbon, I m a son of a bitch
I m a dyin breed of rock and roll I d pass up in the ditch
I ve been up against the law, I ve spent some time in jail
I ve been know for gettin stoned, I ve raised my share of hell
They went back to Alabam one cold October day
as soon as I was born, my daddy up and ran away
We got by on getting by, we live from week to week
As long as I got two good hands, I ll work to earn my keep
Chorus:
I a son of the bourbon, I m a son of a bitch
A dyin breed of rock and roll I d pass up in the ditch
I ve been up against the law, I ve spent some time in jail
I ve been know for gettin stoned, I ve raised my share of hell
Guitar Solo--
My mama drank scotch whiskey and my daddy drank Jim Beam
I was conceived just outside of New Orleans
When my life is over and my time has come to pass
Bury me upside down so the world can kiss my ass
Chorus:
I a son of the bourbon, I m a son of a bitch
I m a dyin breed of rock and roll I d pass up in the ditch
I ve been up against the law, I ve spent some time in jail
I ve been know for gettin stoned, I ve raised my share of hell
I ve been know for gettin stoned, I ve raised my share of hell
