The Way That I Am

[Verse 1]
I work all day like a dog just to make a dime
What Uncle Sam doesn't take he sends to my two ex-wives
All that I need is a small bag of weed and a friend
A place we can go, where the beer is ice cold
And the women don't care where you've been

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been through hell
I've been locked up in jail
Left out in the cold
I've been drunk, I've been stoned
Goin' out of my mind
One night stand at a time
I need a lady to hold me
As long as she leaves in the mornin'
'Cause I won't be changin' hеr name or the way that I am

[Verse 2]
This whiskey bottlе in my hand is goin' dry
There ain't enough whiskey in this bottle to get her off my mind
I know I'm to blame for livin' on some old bar stool
Ain't a good girl in this world's gonna put up with the crazy things I do

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been through hell
I've been locked up in jail
Left out in the cold
I've been drunk, I've been stoned
Goin' out of my mind
One night stand at a time
I need a lady to hold me
Long as she leaves in the mornin'
'Cause I won't be changin' her name or the way that I am

[Outro]
There ain't no use in pretending
There'll be some happy ending
'Cause I won't be changin' her name or the way that I am
