Lyrics

BAD HABITS

Daddy said son you might go far
If you don?t start hangin? around in them bars
Learnin? bad habits, bad habits
I said pa don?t you be concerned
I?ll always stay straight and I?ll never get turned
By bad habits, bad habits

They say no good ever came from a jug
The Lord don?t like it and he?ll squash you like a bug
Politicians sittin? around lookin? real smug
Wonder who gave them the right to judge
Bad habits, bad habits

Momma said boy now you are strong
And you know the difference between right and wrong
Bad habits, don?t get you no bad habits
I said ma don?t you be concerned
I?ll always stay straight and I?ll never get burned
By bad habits, bad habits

They say no good ever came from a jug
The Lord don?t like it and he?ll squash you like a bug
I went walkin? out over the hill
I ran right into a whiskey still
Bad habits I learned me some bad habits

I grew up poor but I grew up proud
I?ve got my own ideas about
Bad habits, bad habits
I might take a drink every now and then
If it don?t hurt nobody then it ain?t no sin
To have bad habits, bad habits

They say no good ever came from a jug
The Lord don?t like it and he?ll squash you like a bug
If you read the Bible you?ll see it ain?t so
?Cause Jesus himself made the wine flow
Bad habits, He had some bad habits

They say no good ever came from a jug
The Lord don?t like it and he?ll squash you like a bug
Holy rollers sittin? around lookin? real smug
Nobody gave them the right to judge
Bad habits, bad habits
Bad habits, they?re the ones with the bad habits
