Ministers of religion
Have visited me many times
To talk about it
They say to me
I gotta leave it I gotta leave it

It´s a bad habit
For a man
But when I try to leave it
My friends keep telling me
I´m a fool amongst fools

Now I´m a slave, a slave
I´m a slave
I´m a liquor slave
I´m a slave, a slave, slave
I´m a slave
Just a liquor slave

I have lost my dignity
I had before trying
To please everybody
Some say to me
Yo yo

I look better when I´m drunk
Some say no no no
I look bad you know
Sometimes I cry
I cry but my crying
Never helps me none

´Cause now I am a slave, a slave
I´m a slave
I´m just a liquor slave
I am a slave, a prisoner
I´m a slave
Just a liquor slave

Every night when I´m
Coming back home
My wife gets worried
´Cause she knows

Shes got double trouble
Coming home
Sometimes I cry
I cry lord I cry
But my crying
Never helps me

[Chorus until fade]
Now I´m a slave, a slave
I´m a slave
I´m a liquor slave
I´m a slave, a slave, slave
I´m a slave
Just a liquor slave
