lyrics

I got a Guinness in the truck that I'm going to open up as soon as I turn the key
I got to keep it low when driving down the road cause police are looking for me
I got my lucky cap on and I'm driving 'til the dawn straight out towards the sea
Climb in my ole boat and hope she still floats from this land I've got to flee

May your bottle never go empty
May your glass never go dry
Keep on living right
Till the day you die

So I'm driving all the night through the promise and the blight
Past, would you let me be
Trying to outrun all the wrongs I've done
There's nowhere left for me
Future aint so bright, I've taken to this flight
Ocean, will you set me free
Guided by the stars, fewer battles, fewer scars,
Just my mistress the deep, blue sea.

May your bottle never go empty
May your glass never go dry
Keep on living right
Till the day you die

You don’t understand I had to kill that man
There wasn’t any other way
Now I'm on the run with the smoking gun making my get away
Pull the anchor drop the sail
Aint no money for bail
As I set out to the sea
Another bridge I burned and a hard lesson learned
momma don’t you cry for me

May your bottle never go empty
May your glass never go dry
Keep on living right
Till the day you die

Rodney Rice

Rodney Rice knows just how to capture the fleeting glimmers of an emotional moment in life and turn them into songs that evoke our own feelings of despair and hope, loss and love. Rice delivers his lyrics with a knowing nod and wink and a twinkle of the eye to the difficulties we encounter in our daily lives, and creates memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. ... more
