Even If It's Wrong

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

Working for the man just the way my daddy done

Well, the money I'm making ain't buying much bacon

But when payday comes along

Sometimes I gotta do something even if it's wrong

The telephone keeps ringing 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 something even if it's wrong

Seems the road is getting rougher as I roll on up the hill

High times passing by me just like I was standing 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 living 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 something even if it's wrong

Now I hear those wolves howling, I can't get no sleep at all

The good Lord knows I'm tired of robbing Peter to pay Paul

From the grind stone to the gravestone is it really worth it all

Sometimes you gotta do something even if it's wrong

Seems the road is getting rougher as I roll on up the hill

High times passing by me just like I was standing 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
