E5 
I roll out every mornin' I drink my coffee on the run 
A5 
Workin' for the man just the way my daddy done 
         E5                                                               B5 
Well the money I'm makin' ain't buyin' much bacon but when payday comes along 
                   A5            B5           E5      
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong 
 

E5 
The telephone keeps ringin' and it gets under my skin 
A5 
They all call to ask me when I'll send the money in 
E5                                                       B5 
But AT&T does a favor for me and takes a message at the tone 
                   B5           A5            E5 
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong 
 
Chorus: 
          A5               D5            A5              D5 
Seems the road is gettin' rougher as I roll on up the hill 
A5                  D5              A5              D5 
High times passin' by me just like I was standin' still 
        A5             D5            A5          D5 
But I'm almost to the top and I'll go until I drop 
A5                F#5              B5 
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
