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 Chorus Solo Outro
