I've got a good woman at home
Who thinks I do no wrong
But sometimes, Lord
She just ain't always around
And you know that's when I fall
Now I can't help myself at all
And I get whiskey bent and hell bound

Play me some songs about a ramblin' man
Put a cold one in my hand
'Cause you know I love to
Hear those guitar sounds
Don't you play "I'm So
Lonesome I Could Cry"
'Cause I'll get all balled up inside
And I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound


Sure enough about closin' time
'bout stoned out of my mind
And I end up with some
Honky tonk special I found
Just as sure as the morning sun comes
Thinking of my sweet girl at home
And I need to get whiskey bent and hell bound

Play me the songs about ramblin' man
Put old Jim Beam in my hand
'Cause you know I still love to
Get drunk and hear country sounds
But don't you play "Your Cheatin' Heart"
'Cause that'll tear me all apart
I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound

Yeah, old Hank's songs always make
Me feel low down
