I been workin' hard my whole life I been fightin' tooth and nail Just to take what's mine I came in from the water grew up in the grain Now I'm livin in the city, and I'm goin' insane When you're passin me by Well, I can drink from the river till the ocean runs dry I been sober as a judge And my momma told me how to hold a grudge She gave me hard lovin', baby, and I'm hard on you It's the only thing I know how to do Little boy, I can see in the dark I can breathe underwater I'ma leave my mark By the time you find out I'll be down in the flames I'm in every city you will know my name So don't be shy, I been drinkin whisky I gotta twinkle in my eye Now listen here, babe I'm gonna sock it to you till the end of my days
