everything ain t right

George Jones

Written by George Jones and Darrell Edwards

I m gonna build a private graveyard
On the outskirts of town
And if my baby don t get home tonight
I m a-gonna lower her down
Cause it ain t right
Lord, no, ev rything ain t right

I saw her out just the other night
She was really on a spree
She was makin love to some other guy
Right there in front of me
That ain t right
Uh-huh, no, ev rything ain t right

But I m a-gonna buy her pretty things
And try to change her mind
Cause I gotta have her with me tonight
I need her lovin all of the time
My heart ain t right
Lord, no, ev rything ain t right

I could build the highest bridges
Over waters deep and wide
To have her love back with me again
It would ease this pain inside
The world ain t right
Uh-huh, no, ev rything ain t right

And I find myself in darkness
You took away the light
And I know there s never been a fool
Like me, before tonight
That ain t right
Lord, no, ev rything ain t right

But I think I ll write my will out
And sign it before too long
You ain t a-gonna spend my money, uh-huh
Not after this poor boy s gone
That wouldn t be right
