lyrics

Singin songs about cigarettes and whiskey
try to forget how much she missed me
and I'm sniffing cocaine like its going outta style
send me to tennessee home for a while
Ive been drink in hard liquor man since i was three
it aint no surprise why my baby left
she left me high and dry
she left me cold and stoned
man, i burned the bridge i can't never go home

And I'm drink in again
Mama pray for my sins
My baby locked the door
and she won't let me in

She's been giving me the eyes since i walked in
well you'd look the other way if you'd known where id been
Well smoking and drinking man they go hand in hand
no one makes me feel as good as whiskey can
and hookers and blow and rock n roll shows
and whiskey and gin and a little somethin..

And I'm drink in again
Mama pray for my sins
My baby locked the door
and she won't let me in

I got a hand on the bible
a hand on the bottle of gin
I got a hand on the bible
a hand on the bottle of gin

I got locked outside but the devil keeps letting me in, whoa
I got locked outside but the devil keeps letting me in, whoa
I got locked outside but the devil keeps letting me in, whoa
