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, oh, I swear

From the time I wake up to the time I lay down

It's the Devil' playground everywhere that I look

Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost

Lot of lines that I crossed 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 not take 'em home

Swear it's all in the past until I do it tomorrow

When am I gonna learn, I guess I probably won't

I can't leave 'em alone

From the time I wake up to the time I lay down

It's the Devil' playground everywhere that I look

Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost

Lot of lines that I crossed 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 than I can't help myself, mm

Makes it look like Heaven till I end up in Hell

From the time I wake up to the time I lay down

It's the Devil' playground everywhere that I look

Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost

Lot of lines that I crossed 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
