Whiskey Bent

I'm cruisin' down a backroad tryna let my soul take flight
 Time, time will tell if I'm ever gon' learn to live right
 Preacher man tells me, "Seek and you will find"
 Well, the lord God almighty ain't gonna let me in, no, no
 Not tonight
 Drivin' one hand on the wheel and the other hand grippin a bottle
 Whisky bent I ain't seein' no road lines
 Just stompin' down on the throttle
 Lawman sees me, starts flashin' his lights on bright
 Well, I'm sorry, son, boy you ain't gonna catch me, no
 Not tonight
 Oh, that's enough
 Just because I'm alive doesn't mean I've ever lived
 Well, I'm sorry to say it, but I wish I could trade this all
 And start again
 Well, I've tasted Earth, and I've tasted hurting
 And i know just how this ends
 Well, I've got all these songs and my voice is almost gone
 That's the way it's always been
 Old man teach me my left foot from my right
 Practice makes perfect
 You gotta work through the day and the night
 See my momma didn't raise no fool
 I know my wrongs from my rights
 You gotta crawl before you walk, boy
 Make it through the dark, boy
 If you wanna see the light
 Oh, that's enough
 Just because I'm alive doesn't mean I've ever lived
 Well, I'm sorry to say it, but I wish I could trade this all
 And start again
 See, I've tasted Earth, and I've tasted hurting
 And i know just how it ends
 Well, I've got all these songs and my voice is almost gone
 That's the way it's always been
 Oh, oh, oh
 Oh, that's enough
 Just because I'm alive doesn't mean I've ever lived
 Well, I'm sorry to say it, but I wish I could trade this all
 And start again
 Well, I've tasted Earth, and I've tasted hurting
 And i know just how this ends
 Well, I've got all these songs and my voice is almost gone
 That's the way it's always been
