 Struggling with Black Dog? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I was black dog driving when I reached for the state line
Chased it back to Joplin before I called it a night
Then it finally hit me I'd been rough on my conscience
I switched on my cell phone and rubbed at my eyes

It was a brand new morning except my clothes and my coffee
Watched an old Le Sabre pulling up from my right
My cousin's guy from Blocker's got an in with the DA
Bet we'll buy his house before we see any time

I know it ain't nothing like your old daddy's way of living
Soon enough the world might make you realize
Sometimes it's only worth what you can see on the surface
Don't give an inch and you can keep your mile

Nothing doing mostly til a week ago Sunday
Knocked over 7 acres by the cover of night
Seems we let our sentry have his way with the whiskey
McCurtain county boy you've got to watch with both eyes

Well I hate to see it happen so I slipped him a warning
Got to have enough sense to keep his head from the fire
I'm afraid the boy they're sending understood the instruction
He's slow in the shadow but he's swift in the light
