Well I grew up lean and hungry I worked hard for my money Said I'm gonna live my life the way I please Spent some time on the road of life saw an angel once and the devil twice I came across some things that I don't need Like a cold hearted women whiskey in my water And only one way out of a motel room Payments on the Cadillac and too many questions And old guitars that just won't stay in tune
You know there's good and bad breaks you learn from your mistakes It's all in how you handle them do's and don'ts A hillbilly boy is hard to convice wild and stubborn and not much sense But I've got enough to know what I don't want Like a cold hearted women whiskey in my water... And old guitars that just won't stay in tune
