90 Proof Habit Lyrics

I first started drinking, at sixteen years old
With a bottle of whiskey, my friends and I stole
I opened the door and the devil came in
And a 90 proof habit, became my best friend.

The night clubs and bar rooms turned into my home
�Neath the smoke and the lights, I�d drink all night long
Bottle by bottle, it brought me more pain
And a 90 proof habit just drove me insane.

(Chorus)
Got a 90 proof habit, the Lord knows I love
That old sour mashed whiskey
It runs through my blood
It hurts me so bad, just to wake up each day
With a 90 proof habit that won�t go away.

Now, I�ve hurt some people, Lord, I can�t deny
I�ve held some women and I�ve said goodbye
Now, the hearts that I broke, back so long ago
Like a 90 proof habit, just won�t let me go.

(Repeat Chorus)

It won�t be long now, �til I see my death
I�ll die with the poison, there still on my breathe
Write on my tombstone, �A Good Man Gone Bad�
From the 90 proof habit, that he�ll always have.

(Repeat Chorus)

Got a 90 proof habit, that won�t go away.
