Drive-By Truckers - Dead, Drunk, And Naked lyrics

rate me

When I was a young boy I sniffed a lot of glue

Mom sent me to rehab, they told me what to do

We didn't have much money; the lord picked up the tab

They made me write him love songs, sitting in my room

Now I just drink whiskey and drive around my friends

Get a haircut, get a job, maybe born again

And if you're living badly, we'll tell you how to live

Dead, drunk, and naked…

If you're out there listening, I just want you to know

I been doing just fine, psychiatrists tell me so

My scars are patched up; my arms have almost healed

My demons almost tranquilized, my pains almost killed

Me and old Jack Daniel's, become the best of friends

We got all them Baptist's to die for our sins

I know the lord is coming

The South will rise again! (Dead, drunk, and naked)

Daddy used to tell me, everything comes down to what they say about you when you're not around

And I wish that he was here now, I'm sure he would be proud

No one talks about me; the voices are too loud.

So if you come to see me, I'm sure you'll be impressed

By how well I'm behaving and how well I'm dressed

If you come to see me, hope you're coming soon

Dead, drunk, and naked…
