  Simple as my mama said 

  When I was very young 

  She told me, "Not to worry, son 

  One day, you'll be someone" 

  But here I am at twenty-one 

  As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun 

  I'm sorry, Mama 

  Please don't look at me

  When I got to Oklahoma, I was seventeen 

  My papa taught me how to work, and Lord, he was mean 

  Workin' all day in that August heat 

  And he taught me how to fish, my uncle taught me how to drink 

  x---x---x---x x---x 

  Well, I went to California and I had me a band 

  And we played in all the bars 

  In all the southern lands 

  We played all night and we drank for free 

  All of my boys and me -x---x---x

  Now I'm twenty-three 

  And thеre ain't nobody who can drink like me 

  Soon, I'll bе twenty-four 

  And the Lord knows that I can't drink no more 

  I know I shoulda taken it slow 

  It's not the way that my life goes 

  Now I know 

  x---x---x---x

  When you're passed out on the floor 

  You're sober by twenty-four

  S3:
  Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time 

  And I'd drink my whiskey and she'd drink wine 

  But soon, my bottle was 

  Too much to company 

  x---x---x---x x---x---x---x 

  Yeah, we'd sit on the river and we'd fish all day 

  And we'd drive across the country 

  Let the radio play 

  Seven damn years 

  I never thought she'd leave
