Ain’t got a dollar in my hand,
Can’t find a woman who’ll understand.
You know this fast life, this hard drinkin’ life
It’s killing me.

Ain’t got a dollar, ain’t got a dime.
Just wanna see you, one more time.
You know this fast life, this hard drinkin’ life
It’s killing me.

CHORUS
This fast life, it was a good life
When I was young and free.
But this hard drinkin’ life, it ain’t no life
Since you walked out on me.

I had a drink, then I had three.
Now gin and whiskey’s got a hold on me.
You know this fast life, this hard drinkin’ life
It’s killing me.

I knew Mary and I had Sue
Now all I think about is you.
You know this fast life, this hard drinkin’ life
It’s killing me.

CHORUS

Now I’m awake to see the dawn
Cause I ain’t been to sleep all night long.
You know this fast life, this hard drinkin’ life
It’s killing me.
