Here we go again It seems like I'm always Hitting a dead-end road I'm rock-bottom low In my defense I been busy as a broke man Paying off the debt he owes But I'm losing hope Yeah, I been whiskey drinking Wishful thinking I've been on my knees Praying please release me From this chokehold I'm six feet deep And I could sure use a little rope Shorter days turn to longer nights It's no surprise that I'm in trouble But every time I try to climb out of this hole Feels like God hands me a shovel Feels like God hands me a shovel Make it make sense How a million rights can't outweigh The wrong I did Ain't I just a kid? Yeah, it's been one tough act to follow A bitter pill to swallow But I've been on my knees Praying please release me From this chokehold I'm six feet deep And I could sure use a little rope Shorter days turn to longer nights It's no surprise that I'm in trouble But every time I try to climb out of this hole Feels like God hands me a shovel Feels like God hands me a shovel Yeah, I been whiskey drinking Wishful thinking I've been on my knees Praying please release me From this chokehold I'm six feet deep And I could sure use a little rope Shorter days turn to longer nights It's no surprise that I'm in trouble But every time I try to climb out of this hole Feels like God hands me a shovel Feels like God hands me a shovel
