[Verse 1:] Well I grew up lean and hungry I worked hard for my money Said I'm gonna live my life the way I please Spent some time on the road of life saw an angel once and the devil twice I came across some things that I don't need [Chorus:] Like a cold hearted women whiskey in my water And only one way out of a motel room Payments on the Cadillac and too many questions And old guitars that just won't stay in tune [Verse 2:] You know there's good and bad breaks you learn from your mistakes It's all in how you handle them do's and don'ts A hillbilly boy is hard to convice wild and stubborn and not much sense But I've got enough to know what I don't want [Chorus]
