I Can't Hold Myself In Line

Merle Haggard · Mama Tried-Pride in What I Am [2006]

(Merle Haggard)



I'm going off of the deep end

And I'm slowly losing my mind

And I disagree with the way (ha-ha) I'm living

But I can't hold myself in line.



You give me no reason for my drinkin'

But I can't stand myself at times

And you're better off to just leave and forget me

'Cause I can't hold myself in line.



Hey, my weakness is stronger than I am

Guess I've always been the losin' kind

Now I'm full speed ahead down the wrong road of life

And I can't hold myself in line.



Yeah, and I'm going off of the deep end

Hey, I'm slowly losing my mind

And I disagree with the way I've been living

But I can't hold myself in line...
