Knotty Pine by The Bottle Rockets Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Knotty pine, knotty pine
In that spare room of mine
That sits at the top of the stairs
It's where I convene
With guitar and caffeine
To work on my worries and cares
The time that I spend
In that six-foot-by-ten
Puts everything back in line
What happens below
I'll never know
Up in the ol' knotty pine
[Verse 2]
My first floor is nice
And it does suffice
For most things that make up a day
But when I've had enough
Of that day-to-day stuff
I like to just go away
To the place that I love
Just one floor above
And get all the peace I can find
That room gives me hugs
It's better than drugs
Up in the old knotty pine
[Verse 3]
A place of my own
And truth be known
It's probably really a closet
To be 'round that pine
Well it eases my mind
A psychiatrist/treehouse composite
Sins to confess
To my old L6-S
And that wood all around me so fine
Yes the ceiling is low
But that's where I go
Up in the old knotty pine
Yes the ceiling is low
But that's where I go
Up in the old knotty pine
Knotty pine, knotty pine
In that spare room of mine
That sits at the top of the stairs
It's where I convene
With guitar and caffeine
To work on my worries and cares
The time that I spend
In that six-foot-by-ten
Puts everything back in line
What happens below
I'll never know
Up in the ol' knotty pine
[Verse 2]
My first floor is nice
And it does suffice
For most things that make up a day
But when I've had enough
Of that day-to-day stuff
I like to just go away
To the place that I love
Just one floor above
And get all the peace I can find
That room gives me hugs
It's better than drugs
Up in the old knotty pine
[Verse 3]
A place of my own
And truth be known
It's probably really a closet
To be 'round that pine
Well it eases my mind
A psychiatrist/treehouse composite
Sins to confess
To my old L6-S
And that wood all around me so fine
Yes the ceiling is low
But that's where I go
Up in the old knotty pine
Yes the ceiling is low
But that's where I go
Up in the old knotty pine
