[Verse] I don't bow, I don't bend Don't make nice, don't pretend Preacher talks, banker grins Both want money for my sin Sheriff says I'm hellbound I said, hell, I've been around Ain't no chain, ain't no crown Gonna keep this old boy down [pre-chorus] They say there's hell to pay I say put it on my tab If the good Lord wants to judge me He can get in line with dad [Verse] I ain't never met a valley I couldn't ride around Never met a law man I couldn't run out of town I ain't never met a back road I couldn't make some time I ain't never met a long shot I wouldn't lay it on High on life, low on cash To hell with tomorrow, kiss my ass [post-chorus] Wrong side of right, right side of wrong Never walk straight out the honky tonk Damned if I do, damned if I don't Well, if that ain't the whole song [Verse] I ain't lickin' no government boots I ain't one of their recruits They sell fear, I sell truth Been a bad boy since my youth Got no master, got no plan Ain't no saint, ain't Uncle Sam They can keep their promised land I'll take whiskey, dirt, and damn [pre-chorus] They say there's hell to pay I say put it on my tab If the good Lord wants to judge me He can get in line with dad [chorus] I ain't never met a valley I couldn't ride around Never met a law man I couldn't run out of town I ain't never met a barroom I couldn't shut on down Never met a losing hand I couldn't bluff till dawn High on life, low on cash To hell with tomorrow, kiss my ass [post-chorus] Wrong side of right, right side of wrong Never walk straight out the honky tonk Damned if I do, damned if I don't Well, if that ain't the whole song They told me to settle down I told them to settle up [pre-chorus] They say there's hell to pay I say put it on my tab If the good Lord wants to judge me He can get in line with dad [chorus] I ain't never met a valley I couldn't ride around Never met a law man I couldn't run out of town I ain't never met a heartbreak I couldn't drink on through Never met a little trouble That didn't always end up my boo High on life, low on cash To hell with tomorrow can kiss my ass [post-chorus] Wrong side of right, right side of wrong Never walk straight out the honky tonk Damned if I do, damned if I don't Well, if that ain't the whole song [outro] They said I'd never amount to nothin' Ain't said what that amount was never needed for
