Strongest Man in Town
The strongest man in town
Can't keep from falling down
He wraps his life around the bottle
He can't get his fill
He drinks and drinks until
The world that he once knew he's forgotten
Friends they come and go
Brother don't you know
The family's the very first forsaken
He's out on the street
Where the world is not so sweet
What a sad cruel turn his life has taken
Once he was a strong man
Now he's not so strong
Once he had some money
That didn't last too long
The sweetest girl in town
Will surely bring you down
When she tells you she has found another
She'll explain how she's tried
So many nights she's cried
What you really need is a mother
You've blown it once again
You've lost your last friend
And everyone else is out of favors
You may raise your cup
But spit it right back up
Drinking like that has lost it's flavor
Once he was a strong man
Now he's not so strong
Once he had money
That didn't last too long
When he is a weak man
His day to day is rough
I just hope he wakes up
And says he's had enough
Once he was a strong man
Now he just smells strong
Once he was money
That didn't last too long
You've got a tattoo on your arm
The world has lost its charm
There's no place left to be hiding
You must open up your eyes
Come to realize
Keep walking down that road and you'll be dying
Dying
Dying
Once he was a strong man
Now he's not so strong
Once he had money
That didn't last too long
When he is a weak man
His day to day is rough
I just hope he wakes up
And says he's had enough
Had enough – had enough – had enough
Can't keep from falling down
He wraps his life around the bottle
He can't get his fill
He drinks and drinks until
The world that he once knew he's forgotten
Friends they come and go
Brother don't you know
The family's the very first forsaken
He's out on the street
Where the world is not so sweet
What a sad cruel turn his life has taken
Once he was a strong man
Now he's not so strong
Once he had some money
That didn't last too long
The sweetest girl in town
Will surely bring you down
When she tells you she has found another
She'll explain how she's tried
So many nights she's cried
What you really need is a mother
You've blown it once again
You've lost your last friend
And everyone else is out of favors
You may raise your cup
But spit it right back up
Drinking like that has lost it's flavor
Once he was a strong man
Now he's not so strong
Once he had money
That didn't last too long
When he is a weak man
His day to day is rough
I just hope he wakes up
And says he's had enough
Once he was a strong man
Now he just smells strong
Once he was money
That didn't last too long
You've got a tattoo on your arm
The world has lost its charm
There's no place left to be hiding
You must open up your eyes
Come to realize
Keep walking down that road and you'll be dying
Dying
Dying
Once he was a strong man
Now he's not so strong
Once he had money
That didn't last too long
When he is a weak man
His day to day is rough
I just hope he wakes up
And says he's had enough
Had enough – had enough – had enough
