Even If It's Wrong
I roll out every mornin' I drink my coffee on the run
Working for the man just the way my daddy done
Well the money I'm makin' ain't buyin' much bacon but when payday comes along
Sometimes I gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong
The telephone keeps ringin' and it gets under my skin
They all call to ask me when I'll send the money in
But at&T does a favor for me and takes a message at the tone
Sometimes I gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong
Seems the road is gettin' rougher as I roll on up the hill
High times passin' by me just like I was standin' still
But I'm almost to the top and I'll go until I drop
Some fall by the wayside but I've gone too far to stop
The woman of my dreams she was like a livin' doll
I sent her far away when she set me for a fall
She was a digger and the bills got bigger and I was up against the wall
Sometimes you gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong
Now I hear those wolves a howlin' I can't get no sleep at all
The good Lord knows I'm tired of robbin' Peter to pay Paul
From the grind stone to the gravestone is it really worth it all
Sometimes you gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong
Seems the road is gettin' rougher...
