Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Play me some songs about a rambling 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
[Verse 3]
Sure enough, about closing 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
[Verse 4]
Play me the songs about a rambling man
Put ol' Jim Beam in my hand
'Cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds
But don't play, "Your Cheatin' Heart"
'Cause that'll tear me all apart
I get whiskey bent and hell bound
[Outro]
Yeah, ol' Hank songs always make me feel low down
