Dolly Can't Save Me Now
I woke up this morning in Dallas and I can't remember a thing
I see Cliff what's-his-name still asleep in my bed and dammit he's wearing a ring
I told a white lie to my mama, I don't want to bring her no shame
What she doesn't know ain't gonna hurt anybody, I'm the only one to blame
I've been baptized in bourbon and shine, but I just can't seem to walk the line
Checkin' off all my sins of the south, even Dolly can't save me now
Back home in Harlan County, business is doin' real good
I promised that Sherriff that I'd shut her down, knowing damn well I never would
I's walking home from the Palace, dancing with my glass of champagne
I got picked up late, went straight to the tank, ruining my family name
I've been baptized in bourbon and shine, but I just can't seem to walk the line
I've been checkin' off all my sins of the south, even Dolly can't save me now
I showed up late to the chapel, every head bowed down in prayer
I snuck to the back and stole all the cash and got the hell out of there
One thing lead to another, sinning always happens that way
But down in the south, there ain't no way out, we're all one in the same
I've been baptized in bourbon and shine, but I just can't seem to walk the line
I've been checkin' off all my sins of the south, even Dolly can't save me now
I see Cliff what's-his-name still asleep in my bed and dammit he's wearing a ring
I told a white lie to my mama, I don't want to bring her no shame
What she doesn't know ain't gonna hurt anybody, I'm the only one to blame
I've been baptized in bourbon and shine, but I just can't seem to walk the line
Checkin' off all my sins of the south, even Dolly can't save me now
Back home in Harlan County, business is doin' real good
I promised that Sherriff that I'd shut her down, knowing damn well I never would
I's walking home from the Palace, dancing with my glass of champagne
I got picked up late, went straight to the tank, ruining my family name
I've been baptized in bourbon and shine, but I just can't seem to walk the line
I've been checkin' off all my sins of the south, even Dolly can't save me now
I showed up late to the chapel, every head bowed down in prayer
I snuck to the back and stole all the cash and got the hell out of there
One thing lead to another, sinning always happens that way
But down in the south, there ain't no way out, we're all one in the same
I've been baptized in bourbon and shine, but I just can't seem to walk the line
I've been checkin' off all my sins of the south, even Dolly can't save me now
