 Oh I got one hand on the bottle, and the other on the wheel
 And I'm tearin up a gravel  road, just north  of Sandersville
 I'm headin' down the holler, heard there's a party goin' on,
 Stole some moonshine from my dad,  and half of its  already gone.
 Oh Lord, oh Lord,  help me make  it through the night
 Cuz I just  cant help  myself,
 Oh I try, I  try but I can't turn  it around,
 Oh no I just  can't help  myself.
Oh  I picked up the preacher's daughter; she's as fine as she is wild,
 And when her daddy's not around,  she don't act like  a preacher's child
 And I knew what she was after when asked me for the ride
 Yea daddy's little angel's  got fire  in her eyes
 Oh Lord, oh Lord,  help me make  it through the night
 Cuz I just  can't help  myself.
 Oh I try, I  try, but this girl's  all over me,
 Oh and I just  can't help  myself.
 Aw help me now.
 Intro again 2x Then  2 x
Well  ill be in church tomorrow, I've got a lot to pray about
 Sin to be forgiven  and demons  to cast out.
 And if I die come Monday, I know ill be heaven bound
 And ill be white as snow  until the weekend  rolls around
 Oh Lord, oh  Lord, help me make  it through the night
 Oh cuz I just  can't help  myself.
 Oh I try, I  try, but I can't turn  it around,
 Oh no I just  can't help  myself.
 Oh no I just  can't help  myself.
 Oh I just  can't help  myself.
