Better Than the Bottle

English translation

This morning an old running buddy dropped by.

It was good to see the clear in his eyes.

The coffee was black, but no more cigarettes.

Been laying things down one habit at a time.

Never thought we'd get old, now we're damn sure trying.

And making the most of the time we have left.

We lived a little harder than the rest.

We swore like hell we'd never slow down.

The money we'd burn when we paint the town.

Rolling like we'd never see tomorrow.

We were chasing that high we had time to borrow. We were out of control like the

James Younger brothers. We were hard on ourselves, we were bad for each other.

Some living's been done and we pulled back on the throttle.

Still a vice or two but they're better than the bottle.

Just talking and thinking on the wilder days and the friends that we lost.

They came back to Jack.

We'll never know of the problems that he knew.

We were lucky enough to slip on through the cracks.

Outrun the devil and the plans that he had.

Looking back now, back then there were no regrets.

We lived a little harder than the rest.

We swore like hell we'd never slow down.

Oh, the money we'd burn when we'd paint the town.

Rolling like we'd never see tomorrow.

We were chasing that high we had time to borrow.

We were out of control like the James Younger brothers.

We were hard on ourselves, we were bad for each other.

Some living's been done and we pulled back on the throttle.

We swore like hell we'd never slow down.

Oh, the money we'd burn when we'd paint the town.

Rolling like we'd never see tomorrow.

James Younger brothers. We were hard on ourselves, we were bad for each other.

Some living's been done and we pulled back on the throttle.

We still have vice or two but they're better than the bottle.

Yeah, we still got a vice or two but they're better than the bottle.

We're better than the bottle.
