Curly headed babies running wild in the yard
Catching fireflies while the day goes dark
Dogs on the front porch dreaming 'bout a rabbit
Halfway working through a six-pack habit
Porch swing kissing on the love of my life
Wishing just once, 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
It tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't but buddy if I could
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's boys dream getting better with age
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
It tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't but buddy if I could
Just Jesus 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
It tastes so sweet and it feels so good
I know I can't but buddy if I could
I'd pull it off the shelf blow off the dust
I'd be a billionaire if I could sell this stuff
