Even If It's Wrong
View chords used in this chart
E
I roll out every mornin' I drink my coffee on the run
A
Workin' for the man just the way my daddy done
E B7
Well the money I'm makin' ain't buyin' much bacon but when payday comes along
A B7 E
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
E
The telephone keeps ringin' and it gets under my skin
A
They all call to ask me when I'll send the money in
E B7
But AT&T does a favor for me and takes a message at the tone
B7 A E
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
Chorus:
A D A D
Seems the road is gettin' rougher as I roll on up the hill
A D A D
High times passin' by me just like I was standin' still
A D A D
But I'm almost to the top and I'll go until I drop
A F#m B7
Some fall by the wayside but I've gone to far to stop
The woman of my dreams she was like a livin' 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 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 gravestone is it really worth it all
Sometimes you gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
