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 Chorus Solo Outro
