Lyrics

Spent the summer time drinking whiskey and wine
The winter time up on detox creek
Up on the ridge with Doctor G
And the boys in the whits suits

We learnt how to live
We learnt how to die
We knew we walked on a very thin line
But we all knew our days were numbered
And the lawman would come

chr
I got a one in three
Chance of becoming me
I got a one in three
Lay your hands on me

Took a couple of days and the will to live
Would creep back into any man's soul
Couple of nights dancing with the devil
And paying the toll
