Lyrics
Verse
Out on the road asleep behind the wheel
Pumped up with pills till it don?t seem real
Night after night day after day
Try to make a living then they take it all away
Chorus
Gotta do it right wanna be a good man
I got mouths to feed doing the best I can
Working so hard just to get ahead
By the time I get there, I?ll be long dead
Verse
Got no time for love got no time for passion
That sound you hear is my life crashing
Work a 12-hour day just to pay the rent
Can?t make enough, it?s already spent
Chorus
Gotta do it right wanna be a good man
Got kids to raise, doing the best I can
The old lady?s gone, God knows where
Most of the times I just don?t care.
Bridge
Sometimes it feels just like a bad dream
Just trying to get by on the in-betweens
Verse
But I get up every morning take it day by day
Don?t want to think too much it?ll just get in the way
Long gone early back home late
The kind of life you can?t help but hate
Chorus
Gotta do it right wanna be a good man
Gotta hang in there and do the best I can
Gotta keep it straight gotta keep it all together
It just don?t feel like it?ll ever get better
Chorus
Gotta do it right wanna be a good man
Got kids to raise, doing the best I can
The old lady?s gone, God knows where
