Sinners Like Me

I was fifteen when my daddy’s old man

Caught me halfway through my first beer

He laughed so hard when my face turned green

He said, “You come from a long line of sinners like me”

Now me and my brother go to see him sometimes

But he don’t have much to say anymore

So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D

Here’s to a long line of sinners like me

La, de-da, de-da, la-de-da, da, de-de

I come from a long line of sinners like me

My mama had a soft spot for a hell-raisin’ boy

So she had two more just like him

It takes an angel to raise a family

That comes from a long line of sinners like me

Well, now maybe who knows, one day I’ll settle down

Give my dad a grandson of his own

And when the doctor smacks him, he’ll probably take a swing

’Cause he’ll come from a long line of sinners like me

La, de-da, de-da, la-de-da, da, de-de

I come from a long line of sinners like me

On the day I die, I know where I’m gonna go

Me and Jesus got that part worked out

I’ll wait at the gates till his face I see

And stand in a long line of sinners like me

I’ll stand in a long line of sinners like me

La-de-da, de-da, la-de-da, da, de-de

I come from a long line of sinners like me

La-de-da, de-da, la-de-da, da, de-de

Here’s to a long line of sinners like me

I come from a long line of sinners like me
