I was only eight or nine, the last time

I had a heart-to-heart with Jesus

And let the devil take my childhood in my mind

I let the chemistry go and listen him call them twinners

So I packed another load and I cracked another beer

By the time I hit the road my conscious always crystal clear

I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man

Through the eyes of a mad man

Now I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man

Through the eyes of a mad man

What the sinful don't know, the twisted people understand

Well my momma always said, that in the end

The goodness always wins

But momma never shared a bed, never laid the head

Never laid down with all her favorite sins

And my daddy always said I'll never be no good

Well he taught me everything I know I turned out exactly

Like I should

Now I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man

Through the eyes of a mad man

I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man

Through the eyes of a mad man

I'm looking my life through the eyes of a mad man

I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man

Through the eyes of a mad man

Yeah I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man

Through the eyes of a mad man

What the sinful don't know

What the sinful don't know

What the sinful don't know

The twisted people understand
