It's hard to be a Christian, Lord knows I've tried I do alright for a day, But then the next, you swore I'd never saw the light But i can drink, swear and lie till the early morning dawns It's a shame the only things you can do right, are wrong I can't save my money, I spend it like there's no tomorrow When the bills come due, I never have enough I have to beg, steal or borrow But if a man could live on good times, I'd be the richest man of all It's a shame, the only things you can do right, are wrong But I can sing all night to the honky tonk crowd And I can hang with the best when it comes to pouring whiskey down I can find me a bar room angel that will hold me all night long It's a shame, the only things you can do right, are wrong I can sing all night to a honkytonk crowd And I can hang with the best when it comes to pouring whiskey down I can find me a bar room angel, that will hold me all night long It's a shame, the only things you can do right, are wrong Ohh, they'll be hell to pay when the only things You can do right are wrong
