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
