Testo Heaven Help Me

My friend Jimmy works on the Union Pacific Line

Passed me a line about 9 AM

and since then I been feeling fine

Passed a fifth of Old Kentucky in his garage all day
using tattoos like old photo albums,

we reminisced the olden days

Jimmy put a cigarette where his front teeth used to be

got in his truck and pulled six beers

from underneath the seat

He said, "I gotta to to work or

the wife's gonna holler at me."

So I hopped in grabbed a beer and drank my way
to the beer hall down the street



Hey friend, when you gonna take me home?

'Cause I'm too drunk for driving and I think it's time to go

Scotch and cocaine, whiskey, beer, and gin

Heaven help me if I see the letters DUI again



When Jimmy dropped me off it was 3 in the PM

That Mississippi sun made the barroom look mighty dim

Me and three old timers all hunkered at the bar

Bought four shots of whiskey with money that

I squandered from a penny jar

Whiskey kept a flowing as the sun went down

coating my insides 8 ounces syrupy, sweet, and brown

Checking the door for the law or my wife

They know where to find me

I guess they ain't looking for me tonight



So now it's 3 AM and the cocaine's all but gone

If I can buy a bottle from the bar

then I can make it through till dawn

Double vision, double trouble if I get behind the wheel

'Cause my guts are rotten from too many prison meals
