Lyrics:

Stormy sky before me
Heavy winds are blowing
I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am

Living up the good times
Suffering the bad times
Trying to make it easy on myself
Treading on a fine line
Stormy sky before me
Heavy winds are blowing
I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am

In and out of trouble (in and out, in and out of trouble)
Up and down with women (up and down, up and down with women)
Lord, I get so damn confused sometime
Starts my head to spinning
Father get your shotgun
Yeah
Mother warn your children
Tell em I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am

Make no appointments for me
Make no excuses for me
You might not like me much
But you know you can't ignore me

Join me when I'm singing (join me when I'm singing)
Ooo, help me when I'm screaming (help me when I'm screaming)
Find me when my mind is almost gone
From drinking and a-dreaming

Drag me from the bar room
Take me up to your room
Tell ya, I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am

Make no appointments for me
Make no excuses for me
You might not like me much
But you know you can't ignore me

Join me when I'm singing (join me when I'm singing)
Ooo, help me when I'm screaming (help me when I'm screaming)
Find me when my mind is almost gone
From drinking and a-dreaming

Drag me from the bar room
Take me up to your room
Tell ya, I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am

I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am
I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am
I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am
I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am
I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am
I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am
I'm a mean old man
Heaven help me for the way I am
Tell ya, tell ya, I'm a mean old man
I'm a mean old man
(I'm a mean old man)
