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
