He embarrasses his child and wife, Lord, he leads a miserable life.
But still he thinks the bottle in his right hand.
He can tear down more than he's ever built before.
A man can be a drunk sometimes but a drunk can't be a man.

A man can be a drunk sometimes but a drunk can't be a man.
For he goes from Dr. Jeckyl to Mr. Hyde.
He seems bound to have the devil for his guide.
Still he keeps on reachin' out, Lord, he needs a helping hand.
