Some men never get their lives together

Born to lose seems to be their destiny

Tormented all their lives by unseen leaving

Men like Hank and George Lefty and me

We know how it's like to wake up crying

And need a drink to help us go to sleep

Oh there's a hell here on earth I ain't lying

For Hank and George Lefty and me

Every woman we've ever loved drove us crazy

Ain't that way Tom it always seems to be

When God passed out mercy he passed over

Hank and Lefty me and old TC

So we learned to set our heartaches to music

And our tears in some melodies

You die young when

You're living what you're singing

Like Hank and George Lefty and me

Like old Hank and Lefty and me and old TC
