My Mama told me, your life is such a wreck

Your dumber than dogshit is what my Daddy said

I was just thirteen when they showed me the door

I keep their picture but don't look at it no more



My first wife told me, you need to get a life

My third wife told me to get another wife

I brought a bottle and the van's parked by that tree

So come on out with me, if you want to be number four



Sometimes I feel like shit

Sometimes that ain't half of it

Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep

Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep



Ain't held down a job since 1984

I get by holding up convenience stores

I get by on liquor, guns and luck

But I'm scared to death which one might run out first



Sometimes I feel like shit

Sometimes that ain't half of it

Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep

Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep



I seen my past in everything that I despise

I've seen my future and I'm scared to close my eyes

Is that my ghost that I see in my fears

Or just my reflection in my Mama's tears



Sometimes I feel like shit

Sometimes that ain't half of it

Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep

Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep

Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep
