Verse 1
Been talkin’ to a doctor, been talkin’ to the Lord
Cut off a couple people, that don’t hear from me no more
They say it’s for the better, but is it really for the best?
They said I’d get more sleep, but I ain’t gettin’ any rest
Pre-Chorus
Ooh, nothing’s changed and in a way it’s gettin’ way worse
Way worse
Ooh, don’t think I’m doin’ myself any favors
Favors
Chorus
Since I kicked the bottle, kicked the bag
Scratched the Broadway off the map
Baby, that’d work if I was someone else
Kicked the strangers out my bed
Kicked the voices out my head
Did my best but I just can’t kick myself
Post-Chorus
Me, myself, and I
These ramblin’ ways won’t ever die
Lord knows that my mama tried
But I just can’t kick myself
Verse 2
Everybody on the outside, it’s easy lookin’ in
Probably think I’m doin’ great like, “Look at him”
He’s gone and straighted up now, he’s finally walkin’ lines
I ain’t lyin’, I was probably doin’ fine before
Chorus
Since I kicked the bottle, kicked the bag
Scratched the Broadway off the map
Baby, that’d work if I was someone else
Kicked the strangers out my bed
Kicked the voices out my head
Did my best but I just can’t kick myself
Post-Chorus
Me, myself, and I
These ramblin’ ways won’t ever die
Lord knows that my mama tried
Said, “Son, gon’ get some help”
Huh, what I do?
Exactly what they told me to
Kick the shit that I used to use
But I just can’t kick myself
Chorus
Kicked the bottle, kicked the bag
Scratched the Broadway off the map
Baby, that’d work if I was someone else
Kicked the strangers out my bed
Kicked the voices out my head
Did my best but I just can’t kick myself
Post-Chorus
Me, myself, and I
These ramblin’ ways won’t ever die
Lord knows that my mama tried
Said, “Son, gon’ get some help”
Huh, what I do?
Exactly what they told me to
Kick the shit that I used to use
But I just can’t kick myself
