six of one half a dozen of the other

Joe Nichols

I do my best to play by the rules
I ve bend a couple even break a few
Don t get me wrong, I wanna do right
I just can t seem to live in a vituous light

Headaches by the bottle, hearaches by the number
Six of one, half dozen of the other

I fell in love with a preachers daughter
They washed my sould in the holy water
I gave her my heart and bought her house
The devil broke in and broke me out

Now I owe the bank some money and I lost another lover
Six of one, half dozen of the other

No matter how you add it up it s always the same
I give it my best and all I gets the blame
I m living and loving and barely breaking even
Can t be me must be the company I m keeping

I went on out and made some brand new friends
Started my life all over again
Now some of them are saints and some of them are sinners
I m still searching for a way to be a winner

I roll box cars one way or another
Six of one, half dozen of the other
