Mama told me, long ago
The rain will come, and bitter cold
Yeah troubles come, but they will pass
You gotta live each day, like it's your last
Well I heard those words, but they didn't stick
My way or the highway, my head was so thick
Always doin' what was right, in my own eyes
Took me so damn long, to realize
It's the ballad of a sober man, it's a bitch gettin' sober man
It don't mean life's over man, being a better man, a better man
To be the man I knew I was deep down inside
I had to make a clean cut, from all my pride
If you really, really want, what you never had
You gotta man up and do, what you never done
It's the ballad of a sober man, it's a bitch gettin' sober man
It don't mean life's over man, being a better man, a better man
It was an itchin', an itchin' that I couldn't scratch
Like a burnin' desire that I couldn't match
No bottle, no woman, no line, gonna make it go
That's the ballad of a sober man, it's a bitch gettin' sober man
It don't mean life's over man, being a better man, a better man

Mama told me, long ago
The rain will come, and bitter cold
Yeah troubles come, but they will pass
You gotta live each day, like it's your last
Well I heard those words, but they didn't stick
My way or the highway, my head was so thick
Always doin' what was right, in my own eyes
Took me so damn long, to realize
It's the ballad of a sober man, it's a bitch gettin' sober man
It don't mean life's over man, being a better man, a better man
To be the man I knew I was deep down inside
I had to make a clean cut, from all my pride
If you really, really want, what you never had
You gotta man up and do, what you never done
It's the ballad of a sober man, it's a bitch gettin' sober man
It don't mean life's over man, being a better man, a better man
