When you're wasted all the time
You ain't doing yourself no good you better change your mind
Cause you ain't fooling nobody round here
And all the friends you ever had have all long disappeared
I'm a mean little man
But I do the best I can
Woman I try try try try
Yet you still testify
But after all is said and done
You've got to take the bullet out the gun

You've been hurt now baby
You've been used
I can see it in the way you hang your head
Oh how you've been abused
Is it sad for you like it's sad for me
I could do the best to hold your hand
But you've got to try and agree
And I'm a mean little man
But I do the best I can
Woman I try try try
Yet you're going to still testify
But after all is said and done
You've got to take the bullet out the gun
