lyrics

Pickup truck, two lane road, rollin' down the line
away from Louisiana that green eyed gal of mine
I was only seventeen, she was twenty-two
hypnotized, mesmerized, things I thought she knew
she ran off with a hippie boy…
never saw her again
women do me wrong
but the whiskey do me in

barroom conversation, trouble at the door
talkin’ to a drunk man, says you can’t fall off the floor
cowboy hands his money to the redneck sellin’ weed
the hooker in the corner and a bottle’s all I need
a dark room and cheap perfume
set my head to spin
let them do their best
let the whiskey do me in

another empty night, life’s a big motel
sometimes you make it to your room, sometimes straight to hell
sometimes you check out early, sometimes overstay
neon sign, no vacancy, gonna be the price you pay
devil gonna get you
but you just don’t know when
livin’ do a number
but the whiskey do me in
oh, the devil have to take a number
while the whiskey do me in
