lyrics

I went on a hunt for the hair of the dog,
at my waterin' hole.
The Friday night bar crowd just talks the night away,
but the man who sat alone, bet he has the most to say.
So I pulled up a chair and said, "Hey where ya from?"
He said, "See this gray hair? Lemme tell ya a story son."

I never would have gotten this far,
if it weren't for all the cracks in my guitar.

See I've been down on luck and I've seen what's up top.
I've even met a woman who'd make your heart stop.
But the more I had the more I'd lose
So life on the road is what I choose.
So I chased the sun west and I didn't look back,
till I laid my head to rest and I talked to Johnny Black.

I never would have gotten this far,
if it weren't for all the cracks in my guitar.

See, the mirror tells my tales in lines and old skin,
of lessons past I learned and of fights I didn't win.
But if we're all mostly water and gold doesn't float,
then look to the bottom to find the right note.

I said, we're all mostly water and gold doesn't float,
then the bottom of the barrel is where we find hope.
It's where we find hope.
It's where we find hope.
