I walk straight now but with a sway
Please consider where I've been
I'm burning oxycotins now
Instead of heroin
Please consider where I've been
Please consider where I've been
I ain't got nothing and I can't have both
Please consider where I've been
When I was a young man and married man
I'd tell you don't ever tie that knot
But now I'm old and my girl left home
I ain't happy with what I got
Please consider where I've been
Please consider where I've been
I ain't got nothing and I can't have both
Please consider where I've been
[2x]
I got a Cadillac appetite
And a chitling income true
And sure as shit, I'll drink my fill
Before the evening's through
Please consider where I've been
Please consider where I've been
I ain't got nothing and I can't have both
Please consider where I've been
Well, my girl got me like tile work
And laid me the first time right
So she could walk all over me
For the rest of her damn life
Please consider where I've been
Please consider where I've been
I ain't got nothing and I can't have both
Please consider where I've been
[2x]
