Hey! You want the whole story? Here it is! Woman on my shoulder, bottle in my hand Cards on the table, money in the sand Old Jerry drew it, said it plain and true "This is what's gonna finish you" Diamond on my arm, a warning carved in ink Every vice stacked up right there for you to think I didn't listen, no, I never do Went and got the whole damn set, all four MAN'S RUIN! Woman, whiskey, cards and cash! MAN'S RUIN! Every damn one'll leave you in the ash! MAN'S RUIN! Skull don't lie, skull don't care! MAN'S RUIN! I got the whole set, I don't scare! Lost the money on a Tuesday hand Lost the girl 'cause I lost the plan Bottle's the only one still by my side Guess that's the ruin that I can't hide WHAT'S GONNA GET YOU IN THE END?! (MAN'S RUIN!) WHAT KEEPS COMING BACK LIKE A FALSE OLD FRIEND?! (MAN'S RUIN!) WHAT'S TATTOOED RIGHT WHERE I CAN SEE?! (MAN'S RUIN, MAN'S RUIN, STARING BACK AT ME!) MAN'S RUIN! Woman, whiskey, cards and cash! MAN'S RUIN! Every damn one'll leave you in the ash! MAN'S RUIN! Old Jerry knew the score too well! MAN'S RUIN! Sold me the story, and I fell! A hundred years and the moral's still the same Four little pictures, one old game Don't need a preacher, don't need a priest Just a diamond of sin and a skull beneath MAN'S RUIN! Woman, whiskey, cards and cash! MAN'S RUIN! Every damn one'll leave you in the ash! MAN'S RUIN! Skull don't lie, skull don't care! MAN'S RUIN! I got the whole set, I don't scare! MAN'S RUIN! Wore it proud, wore it well! MAN'S RUIN! Straight to hell, straight to hell! (RUIN!)
