1. Will
I Go To Hell
I asked
the preacher, who's worried about my soul
Will I
go to hell, if I lose control, he said, he said
I heard
you politician, you yourself did stray
Will I
go to hell, if I don't vote your way
He said,
he said
Well
head on, well head on
Well
head on, head on to hell
I might
like to drink, good ole southern mash
Will I
go to hell, am I just white trash
He said,
he said
Sometimes
I want to live, sometimes I wanna die
Will I
go to hell, if I don't feel like trying
He said,
he said
Well
head on, well head on
Well
head on, head on to hell
Let me
talk to Jesus, tell me if it's cool,
Will I
go to hell, if I don't follow rules
He said,
he said
Is it
that I'm different, I am I just a fool,
Will I
go to hell, if I'm not just like you,
He said,
he said
Well
head on, well head on,
Well
head on, head on to hell
2. Oh My
My
There
are days, want to be alone, don't get up, don't leave home,
Oh my
my, oh my my,
Is this
what it feels like, feels like to die
Hate my
job, hate this strife,
Hate
this town, hate my life,
Oh my,
my, oh my, my
Is this
what it feels like, feels like to die,
Maybe
someday change my mind,
Maybe
come out on the other side,
Maybe
darkness turn to light,
Something
better but, oh my my...
Another
day, another year,
Another
season, same old tears,
Oh my
my, oh my my,
Is this
what it feels like, feels like to die
Oh my
my....
3. For
The Pain
Here
comes the pain again, just like the other times,
Yeah
it's my daily grind, that's my life today,
Here
comes the pain again, I wonder when it will end,
My
addiction is my only friend who always stays by my side
It's
just my pain and me, we keep to ourselves,
Doctor,
write me up, or I'll do it myself, for the pain, for the pain
It's
just my pain and me, we keep to ourselves,
Write me
a prescription, or I'll do it myself, for the pain, for the pain,
Here
comes that pain again, always here to remind,
To that
feeling I am resigned, I will never escape,
Here
comes that pain again, I can't pretend to be brave,
and I'll
carry it to my grave, please dear lord take me now,
It's
just my pain and me, we keep to ourselves,
Doctor,
write me up, or I'll do it myself, for the pain, for the pain
4.
Mexico
Don't
know why I hang around,
Nothing
left here in this town,
Someday
maybe head on out,
Ain't no
use to sit and pout
Every
month I get my check,
Living
off the government,
I don't
want to live this way
I don't
know another way,
That's
the way, that's the way it goes,
Since my
job went to Mexico
Wish I
had a brand-new car,
Mine
won't get me very far,
Hope I
get it fixed someday,
Maybe
then I'll run away, that's the way, that's the way it goes,
Since my
job went to Mexico,
They say
I'm getting rich off you, and I ain't nothing but a fool,
I wish
you could understand,
I'm just
doing the best I can
That's
the way, that's the way it goes,
Since my
job went to Mexico,
Want to
get so far from here,
Where I
go I just don't care,
I know
what they think of me,
I see
how they look at me,
Thats
the way, that's the way it goes,
Since my
job went to Mexico
5. Sold
Us Out
The
politicians in DC done sold us out,
Don't
give a damn about you and me, they sold us out,
We
taking on more than we can bear,
They
make the money and they just don't care,
They
want more and more and more
They
sold us out, they sold us out,
They
sold us out
The
corporations with their profit lines done sold us out,
They
want to take away my overtime, they sold us out,
It's
bout the money and you best beware,
Don't
give a damn and they just don't don't care,
They
want more and more and more, they sold us out.
This
country built by the workingman but they sold us out, we don't fit
their financial plan, they sold us out,
They pay
less taxes than you and me,
Then
hide the money overseas,
They
want more and more and more, they sold us out
6.
Drinking Again
One for
the road, one cause you're mad,
One when
you're happy, another when you're sad,
I guess
it's a sin, that you're drinking again
One to
relax, one to be brave, just one more baby, could take you to your
grave,
Well I
guess it's a sin, that you're drinking again
I know
why you do it, I really do,
I know
you can't help it, I don't blame you,
One of
these days, unless you make up your mind,
You're
headed for trouble, it's just a matter of time
I know I
can't stop you, I've tried and I can't,
And I'm
just like you baby, I sure ain't no saint,
I guess
it's a sin, You know it's a sin, it's a lowdown sin, that we're
drinking again
7. Don't
Need No Devil
Don't
need no devil, to take me down to hell,
Don't
need no devil, to take me down to hell,
I don't
need no help at all, I done it to myself,
Don't
need no hangman, to take the breath from me,
Don't
need no hangman, to take the breath from me,
Don't
need no help at all, I can hardly breathe,
You know
there ain't no whiskey, can take away my pain,
Ain't no
whiskey, can take away my pain,
It just
makes it worse, and the pain well it just stays,
Sweet
sweet Lori, she can't stop the hurt,
Sweet
sweet Lori, she can't stop the hurt,
When the
heart is hurting, it only makes it worse
Don't
need no devil to take me down to hell,
Don't
need no devil to take me down to hell,
I don't
need no help at all, I done it to myself
8.
Christ Have Mercy
Lord
have mercy, Christ have mercy,
Lord
have mercy, Christ have mercy,
Lord
have mercy, for what I did and did not do
It's my
own fault, and no one else,
I am on
my own, and I need help, Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy,
Lord
have mercy, for what I did and did not do
Please
don't send me down to hell,
Where I
am now, I'm already there,
Lord
have mercy, Christ have mercy,
Lord
have mercy, for what I did and did not do
This
here life is hard to take,
The
devils grip is hard to break,
Lord
have mercy, Christ have mercy,
Lord
have mercy, for what I did and did not do
It's my
despair, wrought at my hands,
I don't
expect you to understand, Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy,
Lord
have mercy, for what I did and did not do
9. Drama
Don't
want no drama around me,
Don't
want no drama around me,
Don't
want no drama around me,
Don't
want no drama around me,
Baby let
me be, can't you see,
Don't
want no drama around me,
Now
don't be playing no games,
Now
don't be playing no games
Now
don't be playing no games,
Now
don't be playing no games,
Sayin Im
to blame, just the same,
Now
don't be playing no games
Well now
all you want is all you can get,
I ain't
no fool, my ways are set
If
you're thinking I'm a fool, I've had it baby, now, get a clue
Don't
want no drama around me,
Don't
want no drama around me,
Don't
want no drama around me,
Don't
want no drama around me,
Baby let
me be, can't you see, don't want no drama around me
10. Bout
Time
Bout
time, for me to let it go,
Bout
time, for me to let it go,
Time to
move on, time to let things,all alone
Bout
time, to stop feeling bad,
Bout
time, to stop feeling bad,
Change
my way of thinking before it drives me mad,
Time to
stop a life that just can't last,
Slow
down my mind, stop living in the past,
Put the
bottle down and pick myself up,
I want
to do it now but I'm just too beat up, bout time
Bout
time, you know they all say the same,
Bout
time, they all say the same,
But it's
easy to say when you ain't the one in pain
