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, i can´t help myself at all
and i get whiskey bent and hell bound

play me some songs about a ramblin´ 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

sure enough about closing time, (i´m) about stoned out of my mind
and i end up with some honky-tonk special i found
just as sure as the morning sun come, thinking of my sweet girl at home
and i need to get whiskey bent and hell bound

play me some songs about a ramblin´ man, put old jim beam in my hand
´cause you know i still love to get drunk and hear country sounds
but don´t you play ´your cheatin´ heart´ cause that´ll tear me all apart
i´ll get whiskey bent and hell bound

yeah, old hank´s songs always make me feel low down
