Genesis

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, I swear From the time I wake up to the time I lay down It's the devil's playground everywhere that I look Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost Lotta lines that I cross 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 un-take 'em home Swear it's all in the past until I do it tomorrow When am I gonna learn? I guess I pro'ly won't I can't leave 'em alone From the time I wake up to the time I lay down It's the devil's playground everywhere that I look Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost Lotta lines that I cross 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, then I can't help myself, mm It makes it look like Heaven till I end up in Hell Hell, from the time I wake up to the time I lay down It's the devil's playground everywhere that I look Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost Lotta lines that I cross 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"
