Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin' And I've done a lot of hard, hard livin' Livin' on the road And seein' how it goes I grew up fast and it shows Cause livin' the nightlife Is where I belong And drinkin' with the drunks Who don't want to go home And it's hard, it's rough But I can't quite get enough Oh I'm doin' the best that I can Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin'
And I've had my share of good women I once had a good home, A wife to call my own, But now I'm here drunk and alone Cause livin' the nightlife Is where I belong And drinkin' with the drunks Who don't want to go home And it's hard, it's rough But I can't quite get enough Oh I'm doin' the best that I can
