Drive-By Truckers - Dead, Drunk and Naked lyrics

When I was a young boy I
Sniffed a lot of glue
Mom sent me to rehab, they told me what to do
We didn't have much money the
Lord picked up the tab
They made me write Him love songs
Sitting in my room

Now I just drink whiskey and
Drive around my friends
Get a haircut, get a job, maybe born again
And if you're living badly
We'll tell you how to live
Dead, drunk, and naked

If you're out there listening
I just want you to know
I been doing just fine
Psychiatrists tell me so
My scars are patched up my
Arms have almost healed


My demons almost tranquilized
My pains almost killed
Me and old Jack Daniel's
Become the best of friends
We got all them Baptists to die for our sins
I know the lord is coming
The South will rise again!
(Dead, drunk, and naked)

Daddy used to tell me
Everything comes down to what they say
About you when you're not around
And I wish that he was here now
I'm sure he would be proud
No one talks about me now
The voices are too loud

So if you come to see me
I'm sure you'll be impressed
By how well I'm behaving and
How well I'm dressed if you come to see me
Hope you're coming soon

Dead, drunk, and naked
