Genesis

There was a day Jack and Jim didn't know me from Adam
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"
Hey, I do good for a second, then I can't help myself, mm
It makes it look like Heaven 'til 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"
