As I watch the sun Set slowly, I hold back the tears And I can't help but wonder Why the Lord had to put me here 'Caused I've raised hell All night long And I've seen a good Man go wrong And I can't help The way that I am 'Cause the whiskey, weed and women Had the upper hand Livin' lonely Is the life that I been livin' I got drunk The day my paw went to prison
And when my mama died I just didn't care about livin' And I drank myself blind Just tryin' to find a good reason And I've raised hell All night long And I've seen a good Man go wrong And I can't help The way that I am 'Cause the whiskey, weed and women Have the upper hand Yeah, the whiskey weed and women Have the upper hand, hand, hand
