Backslidin'

I used to clean up on Sundays

I was in a better place

Before my heart was scarred

Before I went to far

For a little bit of pocket change

Now I've got cold blood running

Through every single vein

You know my parents tried to raise a stand up guy

But now they wonder if I've gone insane

Well it's a tough life I'm living

Oh it's a rough road I'm on

The devil's smilin' when I'm sinnin

Jesus loved me through it all

One of these days I might tuck my tail

And get myself on the straight and narrow trail

Cause all these heathen ways sure make me feel like hell

Them brews keep on talking

Tryna run my whole life

I say I'll save the pain for another day

But the days all look the same

And my ship starts sinking

To the deep dark depths

Wish I could moderate this ol' whiskey flame

But it's a never ending chase

Well it's a tough life I'm living

Oh it's a rough road I'm on

The devil's smilin' when I'm sinnin

But Jesus loved me through it all

One of these days I might tuck my tail

And get myself on the straight and narrow trail

Cause all these backslidin' ways sure make me feel like hell

But it's a tough life I'm living

Oh it's a rough road I'm on

The devil's smilin' when I'm sinnin

Jesus loved me through it all

One of these days I might tuck my tail

And get myself on the straight and narrow trail

Cause all these backslidin' ways sure make me feel like hell

Like hell

Like hell
