lyrics

Lord I need to stop lying to myself
Lord I need to stop lying to myself
They say that it’s better for my health

They say that I’m crazy, that it’s all in my head
They say that I’m crazy, it’s all in my head
I ain’t crazy, no, but I wish that I was dead

The bottom of this bottle, it is my only friend
The bottom of this bottle is my only friend
It seems kinda funny, might also be my end

These clouds seem mighty black, Lord, I pray for rain
These clouds seem mighty black, Lord, I pray for rain
I hope this rain, it’ll wash away my pain

Lord, I need a woman who wants a life to save
Lord, I need a woman who wants a life to save
I need her quick, cause I’ve got one foot in my grave

I ain’t got no angels watching over me
I ain't got no angels watching over me
I said to hell with the Lord, cause he’s forsaken me

Preacher man tell me to give Him one more try
Preacher man tell me to give Him one more try
Said “Boy, get on your knees and pray to the sky”

I’ll tell you the truth, and I’ll tell you again
I’ll tell you the truth, and I’ll tell you again
I ain’t no man of goodness, but a man of sin
I ain’t no man of goodness, but a man of sin
