When I was a young boy I sniffed a lot of glue
Mom sent me to rehab, they told me what to do
We didn't have much money; the lord picked up the tab
They made me write him love songs, sitting in my room
Now I just drink whiskey and drive around my friends
Get a haircut, get a job, maybe born again
And if you're living badly, we'll tell you how to live
Dead, drunk, and naked
If you're out there listening, I just want you to know
I been doing just fine, psychiatrists tell me so
My scars are patched up; my arms have almost healed
My demons almost tranquilized, my pains almost killed
Me and old Jack Daniel's, become the best of friends
We got all them Baptist's to die for our sins
I know the lord is coming
The South will rise again! (Dead, drunk, and naked)
Daddy used to tell me, everything comes down to what they say about you when you're not around
And I wish that he was here now, I'm sure he would be proud
No one talks about me; the voices are too loud.
So if you come to see me, I'm sure you'll be impressed
By how well I'm behaving and how well I'm dressed
If you come to see me, hope you're coming soon
Dead, drunk, and naked

Drive-By Truckers sono una band americana di musica country alternativa con sede ad Atene, in Georgia. Sebbene tre membri su sei (Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood e Shonna Tucker) siano originari della regione di Shoals nel nord dell'Alabama, la band ha radici profonde nella scena musicale del sud degli Stati Uniti. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da un "three axe attack", ovvero tre chitarre che si aggiungono a basso e batteria. Come molti altri artisti country alternativi, i Drive-By Truckers registrano in analogico (utilizzando nastri di 2 pollici). A differenza della maggior parte dei loro contemporanei, però, hanno costantemente spinto le loro etichette a rilasciare anche i loro album in formato vinile. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Decoration Day", "The Boys From Alabama" e "Carl Perkins' Cash".
