I'm No Good

I got whiskey to keep me warm

When the sun goes down

And this godforsaken honky-tonk

Ain't likely to run out

So won't you come on home and save me?

Stop me before I drown

'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama

When you're not around

And there's a woman in this town

Whisperin' in my ear

Sayin' things a man in my condition likes to hear

So won't you come on home and stop me?

Before I step on out

'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama

When you're not around

Well, I'm helpless when I'm tempted

And I'm headed straight for hell

Oh, I've got no resistance

The devil knows me well

So won't you come on home sweet darlin'?

Oh, Lord I need you now

'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama

When you're not around

Now there's a southbound callin' me

Further down the track

And if I get on, board that train

Well, I'm never comin' back

So won't you meet me at the station

And tie my bootheels down?

'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama

When you're not around

No, I'm no good, pretty mama

When you're not around
