I do my best to play by the rules
I bend a couple even break a few

Headaches by the bottle

Heartaches by the number

Six of one
Half dozen of the other

I fell in love with a preacher's daughter
They washed my soul in the holy water
  C                      F

And I lost another lover

Six of one
Half dozen of the other

Started my life all over again

I roll boxcars

One way or another

Six of one
Half dozen of the other

Can't be me, must be the company I'm keepin'

One way or another

Six of one
Half dozen of the other
