[Verse 1]
Man, the meanest bastard I'd ever seen
Was that old man of mine
The back of his hand and a little Jim Beam
Kept us all in line
Well, my poor mama lived in fear
Damn near all the time
The Lord says we all got a cross to bear
That old man was mine
[Verse 2]
It didn't take much to piss him off
And he'd be on the tear
I'm still haunted by the bruises
We all had to wear
Well, late one evenin' on a cold dark night
I heard my mama cry
Everything inside me
Just wanted him to die
[Verse 3]
Well, I called him out and said, "I've had enough
Let's settle this outside"
He said, "Son, you think you're tough
Had this comin' for a long, long time"
He got both hands around my throat
Was chokin' me to death
Well, I saw evil in his eyes
And smelled the devil's breath
Man, the meanest bastard I'd ever seen
Was that old man of mine
The back of his hand and a little Jim Beam
Kept us all in line
Well, my poor mama lived in fear
Damn near all the time
The Lord says we all got a cross to bear
That old man was mine
[Verse 2]
It didn't take much to piss him off
And he'd be on the tear
I'm still haunted by the bruises
We all had to wear
Well, late one evenin' on a cold dark night
I heard my mama cry
Everything inside me
Just wanted him to die
[Verse 3]
Well, I called him out and said, "I've had enough
Let's settle this outside"
He said, "Son, you think you're tough
Had this comin' for a long, long time"
He got both hands around my throat
Was chokin' me to death
Well, I saw evil in his eyes
And smelled the devil's breath
