Intro
E
[Verse A]
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
Well the money I'm makin' ain't buyin' much bacon
B7
but when payday comes along
A7 B7 E E7 E E7
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
[Verse B]
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
A7 B7 E Em E Em
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
[Chorus]
A D7 A D7
Seems the road is gettin' rougher as I roll on up the hill
A D7 A D7
High times passin' by me just like I was standin' still
A D7 A D7
But I'm almost to the top and I'll go until I drop
A D B7 E
Some fall by the wayside but I've gone to far to stop
[Verse A]
E
The woman of my dreams she was like a livin' doll
A
I sent her far away when she set me for a fall
E
She was a digger and the bills got bigger and I was up against the
B7
wall
A7 B7 E E7 E E7
Sometimes you gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
[Verse B]
A D7 A D7
Now I hear those wolves a howlin' I can't get no sleep at all
A D7 A D7
The Good Lord knows I'm tired of robbin' Peter to pay Paul
A D7 A D7
From the grind stone to the gravestone is it really worth it all
A D B7 E
Sometimes you gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
