Description
A story song about a kid that grows up poor and hungry. Playing an old second hand guitar. He buys on old car, drives away from the bottom. He plays in every coffee shop and bar and then hits it big with a hit song. The bottom is a song i wrote a few years ago. I hope you like it.
Lyrics
The Bottom written by: Bill Miles D, Dm, C6, D6(no3 no5), Cadd9(no3 no5) Well he grew up on the bottom end of the wrong side of the tracks D, Dm, C6, D6(no3 no5), Cadd9(no3 no5) If crime liquor and drugs was a class you can bet he’d pass D, Dm, C6, D6(no3 no5), Cadd9(no3 no5) Going hungry was a pain he knew growing up as a boy D, Dm, C6, D6(no3 no5), Cadd9(no3 no5) Bending them old guitar strings just something that he enjoyed. Chorus: D, D(no3), D, D(no3), C add9(no5),C add(no3, no5), G, G (no3) When you’re on the bottom There ain’t no place but up Down on the bottom Standing there looking up From the bottom Where opportunity and luck are in short supply Down on the bottom oh yeah Down on the bottom There were angels in this place They’d pay him to pay and sing Sometimes that’s the only way he had a bite to eat When he finely got old enough to buy himself an old beat up car He drove out across them tracks and he tried to get real far From the bottom Chorus He played in every coffee shop and little bar that he passed Didn’t take him long he’s got a hit song at last He started with nothing just an old second hand guitar Poor boy’s dream finally made him a star. chorus
