The Wrong Thing To Do

Mudcrutch


Well, my daddy took me campin' 
Out under the stars 
Left me by the fire 
While he hit the bars 
And I broke my finger 
On a trailer hitch 
Mamma called daddy 
That son of a bitch, alright 

Well a hundred miles to go 
You draggin' your ass 
I'm in a Japanese car 
That ain't gonna last 
And you forever drivin' 
On the wrong side of the road 
Wearing dungarees 
That your mother stole 

(Chorus) 

Well my mamma loved me 
But my daddy don't 
I'm tryin' to work it all out 
But I probably won't 
I got a woman waiting 
At the top of the stairs 
It's the wrong thing to do 
But I don't care 

Well she was blond and tall 
She was 23 
Brought into the world 
To get the best of me 
And she never paid back 
Half what she stole 
She wanted my money 
So I gave her my soul 

(Chorus) 

Well I was flying half mast 
On the 4th of July 
In a bar in Lake City 
With a western tie 
And I was thinkin' hard 
About changin' my name 
And headed for Miami 
When the daylight came 

(Chorus)
