Music: Vernon Service

She's got a crazy crazy hold on me

One I can't really quite explain

The more she treats me like a government mule

The more I'm runnin' back again

But I've found a way to tolerate

And put up with her evil mind

I take a little bit a whiskey

And a helluva lot of wine

Chorus:

Cause as God's up in the heavens

And there's a fire burning down below

There's only one way or the highway

And I'm sure you know the way it goes

I've tried other ways to fix this all

I tried a lot more than you think

Cause she's my reason for livin'

And I live to drink

You see she really can be a sweet woman

If I say all the right words and such

But bein' a drunk and well, bein' a man

You know that doesn't happen much

But I've found a way to keep me happy

To keep everything goin' fine

I take a little bit of whiskey

And a helluva lot of wine

Chorus

Well she tries to be a textbook lover

But she won't let me turn a single page

If all the world is like the theatre

She won't let me up on the stage

But I found a way to steal a kiss or two

Yeah the last laugh is always mine

I take a little bit of whiskey

And a helluva lot of wine

Chorus
