Intro
A#
[Verse A]
A#
I roll out every mornin' I drink my coffee on the run
D#
Workin' for the man just the way my daddy done
A#
Well the money I'm makin' ain't buyin' much bacon
F7
but when payday comes along
D#7 F7 A# A#7 A# A#7
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
[Verse B]
A#
The telephone keeps ringin' and it gets under my skin
D#
They all call to ask me when I'll send the money in
A# F7
But AT&T does a favor for me and takes a message at the tone
D#7 F7 A# A#m A# A#m
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
[Chorus]
D# G#7 D# G#7
Seems the road is gettin' rougher as I roll on up the hill
D# G#7 D# G#7
High times passin' by me just like I was standin' still
D# G#7 D# G#7
But I'm almost to the top and I'll go until I drop
D# G# F7 A#
Some fall by the wayside but I've gone to far to stop
[Verse A]
A#
The woman of my dreams she was like a livin' doll
D#
I sent her far away when she set me for a fall
A#
She was a digger and the bills got bigger and I was up against the
F7
wall
D#7 F7 A# A#7 A# A#7
Sometimes you gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
[Verse B]
D# G#7 D# G#7
Now I hear those wolves a howlin' I can't get no sleep at all
D# G#7 D# G#7
The Good Lord knows I'm tired of robbin' Peter to pay Paul
D# G#7 D# G#7
From the grind stone to the gravestone is it really worth it all
D# G# F7 A#
Sometimes you gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong
