Excuse me for living
Don't mind if I do
I hope all is forgiven
You know I'd do the same for you

Chorus:
But if it's true what they say
Someone must pay

See the sign of the old hotel
We used to stay there
Empty and threadbare
Water running cold

Searched the streets for old friends
Met only strangers
None who remember

Your mama wasn't one to mess around with
Had a fleet of cars and all those flashy clothes
Taught you the discipline of doing what she told
Kept her fist around the money tightly closed

She had all you kids to think of
One more precious than the rest
Big brothers running wild you learned to kick your heels in style

You keep all your aces so close to your chest
How many more fell today?
You overcame fortune and overlooked fame
How many more fell today?

Tell me your reasons for fighting
Tell me your kindness has saved the day
Tell me I'm overexcited

Do you ever think of me,
Do I ever cross your mind,
Do you ever ask yourself,
What's she doing tonight.

There's this crazy thing in my head,
I don't know if it's true,
Whenever you're thinking 'bout me,

You can play master but I won't wear your chains
Throw out your dreams and tell me what remains

Shake your power in my face but leave your threats behind
Oh, no, no, no, I'm not the tremblin' kind

You want me to get down on my knees
And beg for just a little sympathy

Well, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far
Now the haze has lifted I can see
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be

I started slow and steady, I went from Cola to a beer
I made a resolution from the liquor I'd steer clear
When I saw you there, somethin' inside of me switched off
