There was a day Jack and Jim didn't know me from Adam
And Eve wasn't some what's-her-name in my bed
It's like outta the dark I saw the neon a-flashin'
Heard the snake on my shoulder give me the go-ahead
So I had my first sip and I didn't stop there, oh, I swear

From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It's the Devil' playground everywhere that I look
Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said: Let there be women and let there be whiskey

Wish I could take all these troubles and put 'em back in the bottle
Wish I could take all them girls and not take 'em home
Swear it's all in the past until I do it tomorrow
When am I gonna learn, I guess I probably won't
I can't leave 'em alone

From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It's the Devil' playground everywhere that I look
Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said: Let there be women and let there be whiskey

Yeah, I do good for a second than I can't help myself, mm
Makes it look like Heaven till I end up in Hell

From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It's the Devil' playground everywhere that I look
Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said: Let there be women and let there be whiskey
