Phenix City

Just a quick ride over to the Georgia state line

And I could use a little drive to get my mind right

Wanna spend my money and find me a girl

With the trash way of talkin' and smoke in a curl

It's a beat ol' life, livin' down in Phenix City

With a heat so heavy, it'll make a man bend

And if you've got a spare Christian prayer

Well, c'mon with it, my friend

You wanna bet on a sure thing, babe

But it's hard enough to get it right

Ain't it easier said than done

And regrets are for Saturday night

Ricky thought he was hot shit, yeah

'Cause he found a way to keep himself warm

Now he's livin' off of plastic bottle booze

And bruises in the crooks of his arms

He's chasin' that Cadillac

You wanna bet on a sure thing, babe

But it's hard enough to just get it right

Don't believe in who you think you can be

After a feeling-good Saturday night

'Cause dreaming's a dangerous thing

Good times, they come through fast

But the bad likes lingerin' 'round

And while the youngins are runnin' wild

The rest of us are slowly drownin'

The rest of us are slowly drownin'

I've been the Devil's right-hand man

And I've walked the narrow and straight

Either way, you're gonna end up gone

So to me, it's all the same

To me, it's all the same
