My Mama told me, your life is such a wreck

   Your dumber than dogshit is what my Daddy said

Cadd9                         G             Cadd9
I was just thirteen when they showed me the door

G            D                 Cadd9         G
I keep their picture but don't look at it no more

G            D                 Cadd9         G
My first wife told me, you need to get a life

My third wife told me to get another wife

Cadd9                             G                Cadd9
I brought a bottle and the van's parked right outside the door

G            D                 Cadd9         G
So come on darling, if you want to be number 4

Cadd9                 G
Sometimes I feel like shit

Cadd9                      D
Sometimes it ain't half of it

Cadd9                     G               Cadd9
Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep

G             D              Cadd9     G
Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep

G           D                Cadd9   G
Ain't held down no job since 1984

Cadd9                          G
I get by holding up convenience stores

Cadd9           G             Cadd9
I get by on liquor, guns and luck

G            D                 Cadd9         G
But I'm scared to death which one might run out first

Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep

G            D             Cadd9     G
I seen my past in everything that I despise

Cadd9                                    G
I've seen my future and I'm scared to close my eyes

Cadd9               G           Cadd9
Is that my ghost that I see in my fears

Cadd9      D             G         Cadd9
Or just my reflection in my Mama's tears

Cadd9                 G
Sometimes I feel like shit

Cadd9                      D
Sometimes it ain't half of it

I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
