Genesis

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a day Jack and Jim didn't know me from Adam And Eve wasn't some what's-her-name in my bed It's like outta the dark I saw the neon a-flashin' Heard the snake on my shoulder give me the go-ahead So I had my first sip and I didn't stop there, oh, I swear [Chorus] From the time I wake up to the time I lay down It's the Devil's playground everywhere that I look Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should [Post-Chorus] I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me He threw out the apple, said, "Let there be women and let there be whiskey" [Verse 2] Wish I could take all these troubles and put 'em back in the bottle Wish I could take all them girls and not take 'em home Swear it's all in the past until I do it tomorrow When am I gonna learn, I guess I probably won't I can't leave 'em alone [Chorus] From the time I wake up to the time I lay down It's the Devil's playground everywhere that I look Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should [Post-Chorus] I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me He threw out the apple, said, "Let there be women and let there be whiskey" [Bridge] Yeah, I do good for a second than I can't help myself, mm Makes it look like Heaven 'til I end up in Hell [Chorus] From the time I wake up to the time I lay down It's the Devil's playground everywhere that I look Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should [Post-Chorus] I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me He threw out the apple, said, "Let there be women and let there be whiskey"
