I got up work at five o'clock and started home to you
Ran into an old acquaintance and we had one or two
And when I woke up this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do that

I only meant to say hello to an old memory
When I tried to say goodbye the devil took hold of me
And when he let go this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do that

The devil made me taste the wine and held the glass up high
And like the blind that leaves the blinds I drank till it ran dry
And when I woke up this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do that

And when I woke up this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do that
