I was 15 when my daddy's old man
Caught me halfway through my first beer
He laughed so hard when my face turned green
He said, "You come from a long line of sinners like me"
Now me and my brother go to see him sometimes
He don't have much to say anymore
So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D
Here's to a long line of sinners like me
La-de-dah-de-dah
La-de-dah-dah-de-de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
My mama had a soft spot for a hell raisin' boy
So she had two more just like him
It takes an angel to raise a family
That comes from a long line of sinners like me
Yeah, by now I know you've heard that I finally settle down
And give my dad a grandson of his own
And when the doctor smacked him, you bet your ass he took a swing
'Cause he comes from a long line of sinners like me
La-de-dah-de-dah
La-de-dah-dah-de-de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
On the day I die, I know where I'm gonna go
Me and Jesus got that part worked out
I'll wait at those gates 'til his face, I see
And stand in a long line of sinners like me
Yeah, I'll stand in a long line of sinners like me
La-de-dah-de-dah
La-de-dah-dah-de-de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
La-de-dah-de-dah
La-de-dah-dah-de-de
And here's to a long line of sinners like me
I think that there's a long line in South Avenue of sinners like me
