Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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.

Play intro for solo chords

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.
