I like my bourbon neat when it touches my lips Like my women big boned and a whole lot of hip It ’ s not too complicated I like to take things nice and slow One day at a time Down this dead end road Don ’ t need a fast car to get from A to B Ain ' t in a hurry lord to get what ’ s coming to me It ’ s not too complicated hope it gets here nice and slow One day at a time Lord Down this dead end road Well I wake up every mornin ’ and the voices in my head Screaming and a yellin ’ boy don ' t get up out of this bed But I ' ve got to find a way to set my soul free So I ’ ll keep on traveling down this dead end road Till he comes for me I ’ d rather be judged by twelve than to be carried by six So I choose my words carefully and carry one big stick It ’ s not too complicated I like to take things nice slow One day at a time One day at a time lord One day at a time Down this dead end road
