[Spoken Intro]
Gonna take you back in time here
[Verse 1]
I was fifteen when my daddy's old man
Caught me half way through my first beer
He laughed so hard when my face turned green
He said, “You come from a long line of sinners like me”
Now me and my brother used to go see him sometimes
But he don't have much to say anymore
So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D
Here's to a long line of sinners like me
[Chorus]
La-de-dah-de-dah
La-de-dah-dah-de-de
I come from a long line of sinners likе me
[Verse 2]
My mama had a soft spot for a hell raisin' boy
So she had two morе just like him
It takes an angel to raise a family
That comes from a long line of sinners like me
Well now, maybe, who knows, one day, I'll settle down
I’ll have me some grandkids of my own
And when the doctor smacks ‘em, they’ll probably take a swing
Because they’ll come from a long line of sinners like me
[Chorus]
La-de-dah-de-dah
La-de-dah-dah-de-de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
[Verse 3]
On the day that I die
I know where I'm gonna go
Me and Jesus got that part worked out
I'll wait at those gates ‘til his face I see
And stand in a long line of sinners like me
I'll stand in a long line of sinners like me
[Chorus]
La-de-dah-de-dah
La-de-dah-dah-de-de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
La-de-dah-de-dah
La-de-dah-dah-de-de
Here’s to a long line of sinners like me
I thank God that there’s a long line of choir sinners like me
