I guess Mama let me grow up to be a cowboy
She couldn't shape me up no matter how hard she tried
And the good Lord gave me a crazy side when He made me
So He'll let it slide if I let a little out tonight
Because if whiskey's only on this side of Heaven
And they don't play outlaw songs up in the sky
Well, I'm gon' raise a glass to this cowboy life I'm livin'
And I'm gon' keep on raisin' hell till the day I die
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
I'm gon' keep on raisin' hell till the day I die
Well, hey bartender, pour me up another
And keep 'em comin' when my glass starts gettin' low
I wanna get lost in some Foley and some Haggard
Start with " Pancho and Lefty" and let it roll (let it roll)
'Cause if whiskey's only on this side of Heaven
And they don't play outlaw songs up in the sky
I'm gon' raise a glass to this cowboy life I'm livin'
And I'm gon' keep on raisin' hell till the day I die
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
I'm gon' keep on raisin' hell till the day I die
Don't know what I'll do if I ever get there
Maybe sober up and say a prayer
Start talkin' off the ear of Jesus
And tell Him stories 'bout these nights we had down here
'Cause if whiskey's only on this side of Heaven (this side of Heaven)
And they don't play outlaw songs up in the sky
I'm gon' raise a glass to this cowboy life I'm livin' (yeah, yeah)
And I'm gon' keep on raisin' hell till the day I die (oh, oh)
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
I'm gon' keep on raisin' hell till the day I die
I'm gon' keep on raisin' hell till the day I die
