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 but 
                   B7
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                                                    
But AT&T does a favor for me and takes a message 
   B7
at the tone
                   B7           A            E
Sometimes I gotta' do somethin' even if it's wrong

Chorus:
          A               D            A              
Seems the road is gettin' rougher as I roll on up the 
D
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
