"Bottle It Up" lyrics

Curly-headed babies running wild in the yard
Catching fireflies while the day goes dark
Dog on the front porch dreaming 'bout a rabbit
Halfway working through a six-pack habit
Porch-swing kissing on the love of my life
Just wishing for once that I could take tonight
And

Bottle it up, put it away
Bottle it up for a rainy day
Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in
I'll be sipping this summer on ice again
Yeah, it tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't, but buddy, if I could
I'd bottle it up, bottle it up

Old farm truck kicking driveway dust
Mama and them all waving at us
Didn't mean to bother, just passing on by
Got a bucket full of chicken and a pecan pie
Nothing going on gonna make the front page
Just a country boy's dream gettin' better with age
Yeah

Bottle it up, put it away
Bottle it up for a rainy day
Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in
I'll be sipping this summer on ice again
Tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't, but buddy, if I could
I'd bottle it up, bottle it up

Life ain't no big riddle
Just Heaven and the Devil and the people in the middle
Time just keeps on ticking
Every now and then, take a blessing you're given and

Bottle it up, put it away
Bottle it up for a rainy day
Bottle it up for when the clouds roll in
I'll be sipping this summer on ice again
Yeah, it tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't, but buddy, if I could
I'd bottle it up, bottle it up

I'd pull it off the shelf and blow off the dust
I'd be a billionaire if I could sell this stuff
Bottle it up
I need to bottle it up
Wish I could bottle it up
Yeah, bottle it up
