Hells done froze over in July
The law man is making a claim I can't deny, no
'Cause I was seeing red and shot a man dead
Oh, I can't remember why I pulled the trigger
The whiskey made me lose my faith
It was the lightning in a bottle
45 on the throttle
That put a man in his grave
And when the judge asked me, how do I plea?
I said, Lord convict the whiskey, not me
Now I'm serving twenty-five to life
For killing a man that put his hands on his wife, yeah
'Cause I was seeing red
And shot his ass dead
Oh, I can't remember why I pulled the trigger
The whiskey made me lose my faith
It was the lightning in a bottle
45 on the throttle
That put a man in his grave
And when the judge asked me, how do I plea?
I said, Lord convict the whiskey, not me
Not me, not me
Lord convict the whiskey, not me
(I tried to fight the law, I can't beat it)
Hell's done froze over in July
Oh, I can't remember why I pulled the trigger
The whiskey made me lose my faith (Lord, forgive me)
It was the lightning in a bottle
45 on the throttle
That put a man dead in his grave (praise be)
And when the judge asked me, how do I plea?
I said, Lord convict the whiskey (said, Lord convict the whiskey), not me
Not me, not me
I shot his ass dead
Said, Lord convict the whiskey, not me
