Locked up on Monday
Lord I lost my way
I couldn't breathe her name
You know she's after my life
Lately, I'm stickin' to drinkin'
And I'm headed down desolation road
Habit -a- growin'
Set it up just right
I do away my life
On a turn of the dice
Lately I'm runnin' and hidin'
Slidin' down desolation road
No one to turn to
Losing my best friend
My name is just bad news
And my account's in the red
I'm in need of understandin'
I'm landin' in desolation road
