When I came home, late one night
My Baby had, something to say
I asked her, what the matter was
She said she was moving away
She said she wanted more, out of life
I thought things were going great
I said don't pull no punches Baby
Just give it to me straight
I felt so bad, and I felt so low
My girlfriend, had gone away
I started down that long dark road
With the devil going my way
As I sat on a bar stool one night
The Bartender asked me what I drank
Bourbon, and keep it coming my friend
Just give it to me straight
I left that bar and I got arrested
With a blood level of point one eight
When the Officer read my rights
I said just give it to me straight
On trial at the county jail
For driving drunk in the street
As the Judge read the verdict that day
I said just give it to me straight
Six months in the county jail
Is not where you want to stay
Don't, ever, drink and drive
I'm just giving it to you straight
