Lyrics
On a greyhound bus 20 miles outstide of Sioux Falls City
I met a man
He had a whiskey bottle and a picture of a woman
Held in his tremblin' hands
He said anin't no time to take it another way
Life is whiskey bottle you sip day by day
He workded his whole damn life in the mines of South Dakota
Dggin' gold
With his hands he formed some kind of life
But now he's older
He fell asleep with his head against the window
Whisperin' the name of his unfaithful wife
Well now there's time for laughter lord and there's time to cry
But there aint no time to take it another way
Life is a bottle that you sip day by day
He went out talkin' about things I couldn't understand
I could smell the whiskey on his breath
Lord and I could see a tear in his eye
Las thing he said was
Aint no time to take it another way
Life is a whiskey bottle that you drink day by day
