I roll out every morning, I drink my coffee on the run

Working for the man just the way my daddy done

But the money I'm maken ain't buyin' much bacon

but when payday comes along,

sometimes I gotta do somethin' even if its wrong



The telephone keeps ringin' and it gits 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



Chorus:



Seems the road is getting rougher, as I roll

on up the hill. High times are passin' by me

just like I was standin' still

But I'm almost to the top & I'm going 'til I drop

Some fall by the way side, but I've gone to far to stop



The woman of my dreams, she was like a livin' dog

I sent her far away when she set me for a fall

She was a digger and the bill 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 grave stone is it really worth it all

Sometimes I gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong
