I got whiskey to keep me warm
When the sun goes down
And this godforsaken honky tonk ain`t likely to run out
So won`t you come on home and save me
Stop me before I drown
`Cause I`m no good, pretty mama
When you`re not around
And there`s women in this town
Whisperin` in my ear
Sayin` things a man in my condition likes to hear
So won`t you come on home and stop me
Before I step on out
`Cause I`m no good, pretty mama
When you`re not around
Well I`m helpless when I`m tempted
And I`m headed straight for hell
Oh, I`ve got no resistance
The Devil knows me well
So won`t you come on home sweet darlin`
Oh, Lord I need you now
`Cause I`m no good, pretty mama
When you`re not around
Now there`s a southbound callin` me
Further down the track
And if I get on board that train, well I`m never comin` back
So won`t you meet me at the station
Tie my bootheels down
`Cause I`m no good, pretty mama
When you`re not around
No, I`m no good, pretty mama
When you`re not around
