Blackberry Smoke
Son of the Bourbon
[Verse 1]
My momma drinks scotch whiskey and my daddy drinks Jim Beam
I was conceived just outside of New Orleans
Told my ma I loved her while heaven just a played
Daddy was the worst mistake my momma ever made

[Chorus]
I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
I'm a dying breed of rock and roll, been passed up in a ditch
Well, I've been up against the law, I served some time in jail
I've been known for getting stoned and raised my share of hell

[Verse 2]
They went back to Alabama one cold October day
Soon as I was born my daddy up and ran away
We got by on gettin by, we lived from week to week
As long as I got two good hands I'll work to earn my keep

[Chorus]
I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
I'm a dying breed of rock and roll, been passed up in a ditch
Well, I've been up against the law, I served some time in jail
I've been known for getting stoned and raised my share of hell

[Verse 3]
My momma drinks scotch whiskey and my daddy drinks 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'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
I'm a dying breed of rock and roll, been passed up in a ditch
Well, I've been up against the law, I served some time in jail
I've been known for getting stoned and raised my share of hell
I've been known for getting stoned and raised my share of hell
