I WAS WALKING AROUND WITH MY HEAD HUNG LOW,
I WAS WANTING TO DIE BUT LIFE WAS GOING SLOW.
I WAS TRYING TO HAVE FUN WITH LOTS OF BEER AND CHEER,
BUT ALL I DID WAS LOOSE ALL THAT WAS NEAR AND DEAR
BUT I STILL DONT KNOW WHY I HAD TO BE HERE.
WHEN I MET SOME PEOPLE-A FUNNY LITTLE BUNCH-
WHO LAUGHED AND TALKED AND SAID THEY WERE ADDICTS AND DRUNKS.
THEY TAUGHT ME TO WALK WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH
THEY TAUGHT ME TO THANK "GOD" WAY UP IN THE SKY
BUT WHEN I ASKED THEM HOW IT ALL CAME TO BE.
THEY ALL STARTED LAUGHING AND THEN SAID TO ME.
"WE WERE WALKING AROUND WITH OUR HEADS HUNG LOW,
WE WERE WAITING TO DIE, BUT LIFE WAS GOING SLOW.
WHEN WE MET SOME PEOPLE-A FUNNY LITTLE BUNCH-
WHO LAUGHED AND TALKED AND SAID THEY WERE ADDICTS AND DRUNKS.
