I got whiskey to keep me warm when the sun goes down And this God forsaken honky tonk ain't likely to run out So won't you come on home and save me Stop me before I drown 'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama When you're not around And there's women in this town whispering in my ear Saying things a man in my condition likes to hear So won't you come on home and stop me Before I step on out 'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama When you're not around Well I'm helpless when I'm tempted And I'm headed straight for hell Oh I've got no resistance The Devil knows me well So won't you come on home sweet darlin' Oh Lord I need you now 'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama When you're not around Now there's a southbound Callin' me further down the track And if I get on board that train Well I'm never coming back So won't you meet me at the station And tie my boot heels down Cause I'm no good, pretty mama When you're not around
