[Intro – Spoken Word / Echoed]
Yeah… Blue Bottom.
A mile down the mountain, one mile from the noise.
Where peace once lived… and chaos found a way in.
Let me take you there.
---
[Verse 1]
Blue Bottom’s the lake at the end of the line,
One mile hike down, leave your troubles behind.
Where the sky kiss the water, reflections divine,
Me, myself, and time — the only friends I could find.
Sat by the banks where the silence spoke,
Wind through the pines, like a spiritual note.
Used to watch the sunrise turn the fog into gold,
Thinking life was eternal, till the story got told.
They said hippies lived here, back in sixty-nine,
Free spirits, long hair, peace signs and wine.
They danced in the moonlight, barefoot in sand,
Shared love, broke bread, said “we all one man.”
But heaven ain’t promised, not even on Earth,
Where joy and pain can share the same birth.
Even paradise got a crack in the view,
And Blue Bottom learned that the hard way too.
---
[Hook – Sung / Soulful Chorus]
🎶 Blue Bottom, where the water runs deep,
Peace in the day, but the night don’t sleep.
You can pray for heaven, you can hide from truth,
But even paradise got the Blue Bottom blues. 🎶
---
[Verse 2]
Dig deeper than the surface, what you’ll find below,
Isn’t always the beauty that the ripples show.
They swam, they laughed, they lived carefree,
Under stars so bright they forgot to see—
The danger that brews when you lose control,
When peace meets poison, it can swallow your soul.
One man overdosed, chemicals in his veins,
Mind snapped like a branch in the pouring rain.
He grabbed the steel, five lives were lost,
Blood on the water, innocence crossed.
That lake still whispers when the wind blows through,
Five souls gone, but they haunt that view.
Now I stand on that bank, head bowed low,
Thinking how fast good times can go.
Even the sacred ain’t safe from pain,
Blue Bottom remembers — it still bears the stain.
---
[Hook – Sung / Soulful Chorus]
🎶 Blue Bottom, where the water runs deep,
Peace in the day, but the night don’t sleep.
You can build a wall, you can buy your truth,
But even paradise got the Blue Bottom blues. 🎶
---
[Bridge – Spoken with Beat Drop]
Ain’t no utopia, no matter how it seems,
You can live in gates, chase American dreams.
But do you really know your neighbor’s pain?
The mind’s a storm — one spark, it rains.
This world spinning fast, no time to breathe,
We all want peace, but it’s hard to achieve.
So I hike to the bottom just to clear my view,
Pray the calm in that lake don’t fade from blue.
---
[Outro – Soft Piano / Echoed Vocals]
Yeah… Blue Bottom…
It’s more than a place, it’s a lesson in life.
Even in paradise — darkness can strike.
So keep your spirit steady, keep your circle tight.
‘Cause peace ain’t found… it’s something you fight.
🎶 Blue Bottom… oh, Blue Bottom blues… 🎶
