W-I-F-E

I’ve got my wife, the other women, and the whiskey killing me

Well, the first two make it so’s that I see red

The third one makes it so’s that I can’t see

If I had half a brain left after my debauchery

I’d give up the other women and the W-I-F-E

Wedding vows weren’t made to be broken

These here lips weren’t made to tell no lies

Somewhere along the way I guess I must have gone astray

‘Cause I’m drinking here and wishing for to die

I’ve got my wife, the other women, and the whiskey killing me

Well, the first two make it so’s that I see red

The third one makes it so’s that I can’t see

If I had half a brain left after my debauchery

I’d give up the other women and the W-I-F-E

It’s just like my little sister told me

In the end you reap what you sow

I’ve been sowing seeds from Mexico to Tennessee

And I’m reaping now an awful lot of woe

I’ve got my wife, the other women, and the whiskey killing me

The first two make it so’s that I see red

The third one makes it so’s that I can’t see

If I had half a brain left after my debauchery

I’d give up the other women and the W-I-F-E

I’d give up the other women and the W-I-F-E
