I cheated just to get on by

Yea, I cheated just to get on by

If I can't save my sinning ways

Gonna keep on getting high.

I'm sleeping off a weekend drunk

I'm sleeping off a weekend drunk

When I'm awake I'm looking back

At all the ships I sunk.

Two fingers of whiskey

Good old fashioned rye

Wish I were bound for glory

And prohibition dry.

Two fingers of whiskey

That is all I need

To keep drownin the devil

Living in me

Living in me.

I'm hanging on the hook of the moon

I'm hanging on that crescent moon

If I don't get out of this bottle

Lord you're gonna see me soon.

Just like a dog, I wanna howl

Like an old dog, I wanna howl

Used up all of my aces

Who is gonna save me now?

Two fingers of whiskey

Good old fashioned rye

Wish I were bound for glory

And prohibition dry.

Two fingers of whiskey

That is all I need

To keep drownin the devil

Living in me

Living in me.

Two fingers of whiskey

Good old fashioned rye

Wish I were bound for glory

And prohibition dry.

Two fingers of whiskey

That is all I need

To keep drowning the devil

Living in me

Living in me

Living in me.
