| Mmh, once I was a gambling man
|
| But now my gambling days are done
|
| Mmh, once I was some love sick cowboy
|
| I might say, I’ve holstered my gun
|
| And the world is a whole lot safer since
|
| I walked the line
|
| In me you see penitent man
|
| Whoa, you won’t catch me in no cathouse
|
| Dancing in the buff with a bottle of moonshine
|
| Least way’s, that’s the plan
|
| Because I’m older n' wiser
|
| I ain’t the fool I used to be
|
| And now the way things are shaping
|
| They’re gonna make a saying out of me
|
| And no more tearing up the highway
|
| Stoned out of my head
|
| So near I am to a righteous man
|
| So straight and narrow and spic and span
|
| I think the next best thing is dead
|
| Oh the next best thing is dead
|
| Once I was thrown in a county jail
|
| I gave it up to the Lord above (uh-huh)
|
| When some big bad dude, 6 foot 8
|
| Got hellbent on brotherly love
|
| So I hopped the Mustang Shelby
|
| In a backseat full of bones
|
| Sweet Jesus I have been redeemed
|
| So you might catch me in some juke joint
|
| Raising Cain to the crack of dawn
|
| But only in my dreams
|
| Because I’m older n' wiser
|
| I ain’t the fool I used to be
|
| And now the way things are shaping
|
| They’re gonna make a saying out of me
|
| And no more tearing up the highway
|
| Stoned out of my head
|
| So near I am to a righteous man
|
| Just a hoop and a holler from the Promised Land
|
| I said the next best thing is dead
|
| Oh the next best thing is dead |
