Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin' 

and I've done a lot of hard, hard livin' 

Livin' on the road 

and seein' how it goes 

I grew up fast and it shows 

Cause livin' the nightlife 

is where I belong 

and drinkin' with the drunks 

who don't want to go home 

and it's hard, it's rough 

but I can't quite get enough 

Oh I'm doin' the best that I can 

Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin' 

and I've had my share of good women 

I once had a good home, 

a wife to call my own, 

but now I'm here drunk and alone 

Cause livin' the nightlife 

is where I belong 

and drinkin' with the drunks 

who don't want to go home 

and it's hard, it's rough 

but I can't quite get enough 

Oh I'm doin' the best that I can
