I've done a lot of laughing and a little bit of crying I've been a lot of places And I’ve got a mess of friends I got married to a bottle It gave me bad loving, yeah If I could re-live all my days Changing my ways I'd not touch' a drop again By the devil I was tempted And many jugs I've emptied I felt so rejected I didn't wanna go away Half my life has been awasted By the booze I've tasted But the demon I have faced it And sent him on his way I hope I'll be forgiven For all my bad livin' I had to make some changes Or he’d have got me in the end Now I have a pretty woman She gives me good lovin', yeah I can 't re-live all my days in a different way But I won't go astray again By the devil I was tempted And many jugs I've emptied I felt so rejected I didn't wanna go away Half my life has been awasted By the booze I've tasted But the demon I have faced it And sent him on his way -Repeat chorus -Repeat chorus and fade out.
