Woke up in Waco

I had time to kill in Stephenville

I had the stuff to make a whiskey coke

And of all places, I woke up in Waco

I've been the first one for a good time

I've been the last one to turn out the lights

Yeah that's my life, that's my life

I've been high, I've been low

I've been hell yes, I've been hell no

I'm trying my best, letting her go

I know I get wild, I get drunk

Boys will always play with guns

A long way from home, I woke up in Waco

Mom said "Son, you better shape him up"

Wash your hair, go wash that truck

And find you a good girl, find you a good girl

Looking for love in the same old bars

Is like looking above for life out on Mars

Nah, it ain't there, nah, it ain't there

I've been high, I've been low

I've been hell yes, I've been hell no

I'm trying my best, letting her go

I know I get wild, I get drunk

Boys will always play with guns

A long way from home, I woke up in Waco

Hey, I've been high, I've been low

I've been hell yes, I've been hell no

I'm trying my best, letting her go

I know I get wild, I get drunk

The boys will keep on playing with guns

A long way from home, I woke up in Waco

I had time killing Stephenville

I had the stuff to make a whiskey coke

And off all places
