Well, I grew up lean and hungry   I worked hard for my money   Said, "I'm gonna live my life the way, I please"   Spent some time on the road of life   Saw an angel once and the devil twice   I came across some things, that I don't need      Like a cold hearted women, whiskey in my water   And only one way out of a motel room   Payments on the Cadillac and too many questions   And old guitars that just won't stay in tune      You know there's good and bad breaks   You learn from your mistakes   It's all in how you handle them do's and don'ts   A hillbilly boy is hard to convince   Wild and stubborn and not much sense   But I've got enough to know what I don't want      Like a cold hearted women whiskey in my water   And only one way out of a motel room   Payments on the Cadillac and too many questions   And old guitars that just won't stay in tune   And old guitars that just won't stay in tune
