| I do my best to play by the rules
|
| I’ve bend a couple even break a few
|
| Don’t get me wrong, I wanna do right
|
| I just can’t seem to live in a virtuous light
|
| Headaches by the bottle, heartaches by the number
|
| Six of one, half dozen of the other
|
| I fell in love with a preachers daughter
|
| They washed my soul in the holy water
|
| I gave her my heart and bought her a house
|
| The devil broke in and broke me out
|
| Now I owe the bank some money and I lost another lover
|
| Six of one, half dozen of the other
|
| No matter how you add it up it’s always the same
|
| I give it my best and all I gets the blame
|
| I’m living and loving and barely breaking even
|
| Can’t be me must be the company I’m keeping
|
| I went on out and made some brand new friends
|
| Started my life all over again
|
| Now some of them are saints and some of them are sinners
|
| I’mstill searching for a way to be a winner
|
| I roll box cars one way or another
|
| Six of one, half dozen of the other |
