These Days

If there's a lesson, I'ma learn it today Talking to myself again He was cussing like an old man out of fuel Church in the morning didn't do what it should And Lord knows I ain't worth two damns But I'm worth three according to him He didn't mean no harm, he ain't much for charm Just a life lived having a hard day Every single day, you gotta check on them Or they'll wind up just like this In a bind we're in, she's sufferin' Boy, grab the 22 and put an end to this 'cause These days, you can't trust someone else to do it right If you want it done, do it yourself, son, and figure it out real fast Or take them cows to the sale Couldn't do it, I couldn't shoot it She meant too much to me She represented every time I left Can't imagine how she felt She'd probably been sick for a week or two She ain't looked the same since the winter came We hauled off her baby, sold it so We could even afford the hay This one was tough I couldn't say much Just give him the gun He said, "Give me the gun" 'cause These days, you can't trust someone else to do it right If you want it done, do it yourself, son, and figure it out real fast Or take them cows to the sale Closed a chapter today Hell, I threw the whole book away One second, I'm enjoying life The next, I'm saying goodbye Can't imagine me doin' this alone I've been a fool, I've been wrong And I grin and bear it tonight At the dinner table, he called me out, he said "These days, you can't trust someone else to do it right If you want it done, do it yourself, son, and figure it out real fast Or take them cows to the sale" These days, you can't trust someone else to do it right If you want it done, do it yourself, son, and figure it out real fast These days (these days), you can't trust (you can't trust) Someone else to do it right If you want it done, do it yourself, son, and figure it out real fast Or take them cows to the sale Take them cows to the sale Take them cows to the sale Take them cows to the sale
