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
