I'm a good guy, I don't fool around Sure I get messed up, but I always come down So won't you help me god, cause I feel I'm sinking Could you get my baby off my back about the drinking Well she don't know how good she has it In a world of nasty habits I could be some kind of jerk But I just want a whiskey when I get home from work Now is that to much to ask When I'm a good guy I don't lack for class Sure I might get drunk I might break some glass But I treat her right so I've been thinking I gotta get my baby off my back about the drinking Well she don't know, how good she has it In a world of nasty habits I could be some kind of jerk But I just want a whiskey when I get home from work Now is that to much to ask I'm a good guy, ain't got a lot to lose Iv'e been kicked around, hell I've been abused But I could tear it all down without once blinking If I could get my baby off my back about the drinking Yeah I gotta get my baby off my back
