Ministers of religion ♪ Have visited me many times To talk about it They say to me I gotta leave it, I got to leave it It's a bad habit For a man But when I try to leave it My friends keep telling me I'm a fool amongst fools Now I'm a slave, a slave I'm a slave I'm a liquor slave I'm a slave, a slave I'm a slave Just a liquor slave ♪ I have lost my dignity I had before Trying to please everybody Some say to me yo yo I look better when I'm drunk Some say no no no I look bad you know Sometimes I cry I cry, but my crying never helps me none Cause now I am a slave, a slave I'm a slave
Just a liquor slave I am a slave, a prisoner I'm a slave Just a liquor slave ♪ Every night when I'm coming back home My wife gets worried Cause she knows she got double trouble coming home Sometimes I cry I cry, Lord I cry But my crying never helps me ♪ (Till fade)
