  • Well she’s the match that I hold in my fingers
    And I’m lettin’ it burn to the nail
    And I know it’s a pain that'll linger
    It’s a woman like that sends a good man to jail

    And now the cocaine and gin’s got me spinnin’
    Left in the old lost n found
    If sorrow’s a game then I’m winnin’
    Won't you please, set my feet on the ground

    So I sat and I thought for a long time
    Prayin’ on what I might do
    God you never did give me the answer
    And I can’t stand the thought of another with you

    And now the cocaine and gin’s got me spinnin’
    Left in the old lost n found
    If sorrow’s a game then I’m winnin’
    Won't you please, set my feet on the ground

    Thank you for everything momma
    For tryin’ to raise me up well
    And I’m sorry I did what I had to do
    It’s a woman like that sends a good man to hell

    And now the cocaine and gin’s got me spinnin’
    Left in the old lost n found
    If sorrow’s a game then I’m winnin’
    Won't you please, set my feet on the ground
    Set my feet on the ground Publisher: TUNECORE INC

  • Humberto Campos from Recife BrazilI hate drugs, and I have sadness of who uses them.
  • Danny Nunnya from AlaskaI am wondering if when he says "it's a woman like that, sends a good man to hell" if he is implying he physically hurt or killed someone..... not judging, just curious.
  • Dave from Greer, ScIf any of you are reading this and use cocaine and alcohol, please don't mix the two. They become much more toxic when mixed together.
