There was a day jack and jim didn't know me from adam

And eve wasn't some what's-her-name in my bed

It's like outta the dark I saw the neon a-flashin'

Heard the snake on my shoulder give me the go-ahead.

So I had my first sip

And I didn't stop there, I swear.

From the time I wake up to the time I lay down

It's the devil's playground everywhere that I look

Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost

Lotta lines that I cross little more than I should

I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof

He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me

He threw out the apple, said, "let there be women and let there be whiskey".

Wish I could take all these troubles and put 'em back in the bottle

Wish I could take all them girls and un-take 'em home

Swear it's all in the past until I do it tomorrow

When am I gonna learn? I guess I pro'ly won't.

I can't leave 'em alone.

From the time I wake up to the time I lay down

It's the devil's playground everywhere that I look

Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost

Lotta lines that I cross little more than I should

I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof

He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me

He threw out the apple, said, "let there be women and let there be whiskey".

Yeah, I do good for a second, then I can't help myself, mm...

It makes it look like heaven till I end up in hell.

Hell, from the time I wake up to the time I lay down

It's the devil's playground everywhere that I look

Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost

Lotta lines that I cross little more than I should

I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof

He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me

He threw out the apple, said, "let there be women and let there be whiskey".
