Do Right
My momma said hard living is catching up to me. I'm afraid to look into the mirror, cause I know I am going to see what she means. Is that really me? I guess that's what I get for drinking all that gasoline.
My daddy was a preacher, but he was a junkie too. And I grew up on whiskey and God, so I'm a little bit confused. What did I do? Nobody told me it's so easy to let this world get its hooks into you.
This world has dragged me everywhere, but I still am living in this town, where the people drive me out of my mind, and no, I can't calm down. But if you want me to behave, I guess you'll have to tell me twice. Cause I've been trying, but I just can't find a good reason to do right.
You say you want a nice girl, who won't hang around in dives. But when I'm sweet to you, honey, you look at me like I have lost my mind. I always find myself looking for so many ways to make perfectly good men cry.
Someone better try a little harder to make me treat 'em like a man tonight. Cause I don't feel like a woman. Honey, you must not be doing it right. And if you wanted me to start screaming, I guess you'll have to do it twice. Cause I've been trying, but I just can't find a good reason to do you right. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I tried so hard to be good. How did I ever get so low-down? I didn't know that it was possible to stay up that long, but I guess I do now. So we're not going anywhere, but honey, you should get your keys out. We're not leaving this house. Just shut your eyes and open up your mouth.
Cause I've got a conscience, baby, that's a mile fucking wide*. But it seems to disappear every time I stay up all night. That's why I always find myself hanging out at 1896 North High
Don't ask me what I'm doing hanging out in a place like this. Baby it's people like me that keep bars like that in business. And if you want me to come home, I guess you'll have to beg me twice. 'Cause I just can't find a good reason to do right.
If you want me to come home, I guess you'll have to beg me twice. Cause I've been trying, but I just can't find a good reason to do you right. I can't do right. Oh honey, I can't do right. Oh honey, I can't do right.
