I 've got a good woman at home who thinks I do n o wrong
B ut sometimes lord she just ain't always ar ound
And you know that's w hen I fall I can't h elp myself at all
A nd I get whiskey b ent and hell b ound
P lay me some songs about a ramblin' man put a c old one in my h and
'cause you know I love to hear those guitar s ounds
Don't you play 'I'm So L onesome I Could Cry'
cause I'll get a ll balled up ins ide
And I'll get whiskey b ent and hell bo und
S ure enough about closing time (I'm) about sto ned out of my mi nd
And I end up with some honky-tonk special I fou nd
Just as sure as the mo rning sun come thinking of m y sweet girl at ho me
And I need to get whiskey be nt and hell bo und
Pl ay me some songs about a ramblin' man put old Ji m Beam in my ha nd
'cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country so unds
But don't you play 'Your Che atin' Heart' cause that'll te ar me all apar t
I'll get whiskey be nt and hell bo und
Y eah old Hank's songs always ma ke me feel low do wn
