[Verse 1]

Early in the m

orning when th

e sun does ris

e
             
Layin' in the 

             
bed with blood

           
shot eyes

Late in the evenin' when the sun sinks low
             
Well that's ab

             
out time my ro

             
oster crows

I got women up and down this creek
             
And they keep 

              
me going and m

               
y engine clean

Run me ragged but I don't fret
             
'Cause there a

              
in't been one 

             
slow me down n

        
one yet


[Chorus]

Get me drinkin

g' that moonsh

ine
             
Get me higher 

         
than the groce

ry bill

Take my troubl

es to the high

wall
             
Throw'em in th

            
e river and ge

t your fill

We been sniffi

ng that cocain

e
             
Ain't nothin' 

              
better when th

  
e wind cuts co

ld

Lord it's a mi

ghty hard livi

n'
             
But a damn goo

[Verse 2]

I got people t

ry to tell me,

 Red
             
Keep this livi

              
n' and you'll 

             
wind up dead

Cast your troubles on the Lord of Lord's
             
Or wind up lay

             
ing on a cooli

But I got buddies up White House Road
             
And they keep 

              
me strutting w

             
hen my feet ha

Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain
             
And all this r

              
unning's gonna

 
 keep me sane


[Chorus]

Get me drinkin

[Verse 3]

When you lay m

e in the cold 

hard clay
             
Won't ya sing 

              
them hymns whi

             
le the banjo p

      
lays

You can tell them ladies that they ought not frown
             
'Cause there a

              
in't been noth

Lawmen, women 

or a shallow g

rave

Same ol' blues just a different day
