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 women 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
Tie my boot heels 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
