Well, I drove 85 bout a million times, seen everything there was to see
Smoked so much Mary Jane, don't affect me the same, so now I'm moving on to LSD
Had my way with Jack Daniels and some girls I don't remember when I moved down to Tennessee
Sold my soul to the devil just to write some love letters, but it ain't working out for me
This holy water is what I need to keep my sorrows from drowning over me
Lord, I can't keep pretending that I'm not a sinner, Lord knows I'm trying
Need this holy water to keep me from dying
Well, I've seen too many bottoms of a bottle for my age, my mama would say
And I dug all the ditches and burned too many bridges, but that's just the price I pay
Heaven knows the hard living and the Broadway women gonna take me to my grave
And that city isn't helping my state of mind, cause all their music sounds the same
This holy water is what I need to keep my sorrows from drowning over me
Lord, I can't keep pretending that I'm not a sinner, Lord knows I'm trying
Need this holy water to keep me from dying
This holy water is what I need to keep my sorrows from drowning over me
Lord, I can't keep pretending that I'm not a sinner, Lord knows I'm trying
Need this holy water to keep me from dying
To keep me from dying
