Sometimes whiskey, sometimes pills

The silly things I need to get my thrills

Sometimes women are like cocaine

Got to have 'em more and more every day

Yeah the man in the mirror
A D
Ain't no man like I oughta be
G D
Tell me why can't I see

When the devil gets the best of me
I've left heartaches, thought they'd mend
I know how to lose some real good friends
I get angry, I stay mad
Can't get happy with this life I have
