I was fifteen when my daddy's old man Caught me half way through my first beer He laughed so hard when my face turned green He said “You come from a long line of sinners like me”
Now me and my brother go to see him some times But he don't have much to say anymore So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D. Here's to a long line of sinners like me La de dah de dah La de dah dah de de I come from a long line of sinners like me
My mama had a soft spot for a hell raisin' boy So she had two more just like him It takes an angel to raise a family That comes from a long line of sinners like me
Well now maybe who knows one day I'll settle down Give my dad a grandson of his own And when the doctor smacks him, he'll probably take a swing Cause he'll come from a long line of sinners like me La de dah de dah La de dah dah de de I come from a long line of sinners like me
On the day I die I know where I'm gonna go Me and Jesus got that part worked out I'll wait at the gates til his face I see And stand in a long line of sinners like me I'll stand in a long line of sinners like me
La de dah de dah La de dah dah de de I come from a long line of sinners like me La de dah de dah La de dah dah de de Here’s to a long line of sinners like me I come from a long line of sinners like me
