A Damn Good Country Song
Well I've took enough pills for the whole downtown
Ol' Jerry Lee's was drank enough whiskey to lift any ship off the ground
I'll be the first to admit
I sure wish that these people would quit it
'Cause its tough enough
To straightin' up when these idiots won't leave you alone
My life (my life) would make a damn good country song (think about it)
I've always done my best
I've tried to walk tall, walk on killer
But when the evening was over, I was walkin' into walls
Well, I know I've earned my reputation
Can't they see I've found my salvation?
Well, I guess they'd rather prove me wrong
My life (my life) would make a damn good country song
I've had my share of women
But they always seem to leave
I'll put me another quarter
In the ol' pinball machine
Well, I know the ol' Killers been wrong
That ol' change came over me took too long
My life (my life) would make a damn good country song
Jerry Lee Lewis's life (my life) would make a damn good country song
Ol' Jerry Lee's was drank enough whiskey to lift any ship off the ground
I'll be the first to admit
I sure wish that these people would quit it
'Cause its tough enough
To straightin' up when these idiots won't leave you alone
My life (my life) would make a damn good country song (think about it)
I've always done my best
I've tried to walk tall, walk on killer
But when the evening was over, I was walkin' into walls
Well, I know I've earned my reputation
Can't they see I've found my salvation?
Well, I guess they'd rather prove me wrong
My life (my life) would make a damn good country song
I've had my share of women
But they always seem to leave
I'll put me another quarter
In the ol' pinball machine
Well, I know the ol' Killers been wrong
That ol' change came over me took too long
My life (my life) would make a damn good country song
Jerry Lee Lewis's life (my life) would make a damn good country song
