Letra de 'Do Right' de Lydia Loveless

My mama said hard living is catching up to me
I’m afraid to look in the mirror
Because I know I’m going to see what she means
Is that really me?
I guess that’s what I get
For drinking all that gasoline

My daddy was a preacher but he was a junkie too
And I grew up on whiskey
And God so I’m a little bit confused
What did I do?
Nobody told me it’s so easy
To let this world get its hooks into you

And this world is dragging me everywhere
But I’m still living in this town
Where the people drive me out of my mind
You know, I can’t come down

But if you want me to behave
I guess you’ll have to tell me twice
Because I’ve been trying
But I just can’t find a good reason to do right

And you say you want a nice girl
Who won’t hang around in dives
But when I am sweet to you, honey
You look at me like I have lost my mind
I always find myself looking
For so many ways to make a perfectly good man cry

So someone better try real hard
To make me treat ‘em like a man tonight
Because I don’t feel like a woman
Honey, you must not be doing it right

And if you want me to start screaming
I guess you’ll have to do it twice
Because I’ve been trying
But I just can’t find a good reason to do you right

I tried so hard to be good
How did I ever get so low down?
I didn’t know it was possible t
To stay up that long, but I guess I do now
We’re not going anywhere, but honey
You should get your keys out
We’re not leaving this house
Just shut your eyes and open up your mouth

‘Cause I’ve got a conscience, baby, that’s a mile fucking wide
But it seems to disappear every time that I stay up all night
That’s why I always find myself hanging out at 1896 North High
So don’t ask me what I’m doing hanging out in a place like this
Baby, it’s people like me that keep bars like that in business

And if you want me to come home
I guess you’ll have to beg me twice
‘Cause I’ve been trying
But I just can’t find a good reason to do right
If you want me to come home
I guess you’ll have to beg me twice
‘Cause I’ve been trying
But I just can’t find a good reason to do right

I can’t do right
Oh, honey, I can’t do right
Oh, honey, I can’t do right
