Lyrics
my mama says hard living is catching up to me and I’m afraid to look in the mirror cos I know I’ll see what she means is that really me? I guess that's what I get for drinking all that gasoline... cos my daddy was a preacher but he was a junkie, too I grew up on whiskey and God so I’m a little bit confused what did I do? I didn't know it was so easy to let this world get its hooks into you and this world has dragged me everywhere but I still am living in this town where the people drive me out of my mind and I can't calm down so if you want me to behave you're gonna have to tell me twice cos I’ve been trying but I can't find a reason to do right well you say you want a nice girl who won't hang around in dives but when I’m sweet to you you look at me like I have lost my mind that's why I always find myself looking for so many ways to make perfectly good men cry so someone better try a little harder to make me treat him like a man tonight cos I don't feel like a woman you must not be doing it right and if you want me to start screaming I guess you'd have to do it twice cos I can't find a reason to do you right I tried so hard to be good how did I get this low down I didn't know it was possible to stay up that long but I guess I do know so we're not going anywhere but honey you should get your keys out no we're not leaving this house, just shut your eyes and open up your mouth. cos I’ve got a conscience that's a mile fucking wide but it seems to disappear every time I stay up all night that's why I always find myself hanging out at 1896 north high so don't ask me what I’m doing hanging out in a place like this it takes people like me to keep bars like this in business and if you want me to go home I guess you'd have to ask me twice cos I can't find a reason to do right
