I got whiskey to keep me warm
When the sun goes down
And this godforsaken honky-tonk
Aint likely to run out
So wont you come on home and save me?
Stop me before I drown
Cause Im no good, pretty mama
When youre not around
And theres a woman in this town
Whisperin in my ear
Sayin things a man in my condition likes to hear
So wont you come on home and stop me?
Before I step on out
Cause Im no good, pretty mama
When youre not around
Well, Im helpless when Im tempted
And Im headed straight for hell
Oh, Ive got no resistance
The devil knows me well
So wont you come on home sweet darlin?
Oh, Lord I need you now
Cause Im no good, pretty mama
When youre not around
Now theres a southbound callin me
Further down the track
And if I get on, board that train
Well, Im never comin back
So wont you meet me at the station
And tie my bootheels down?
Cause Im no good, pretty mama
When youre not around
No, Im no good, pretty mama
When youre not around
