JOE NICHOLS LYRICS - Six Of One, Half A Dozen (Of The Other)

"Six Of One, Half A Dozen (Of The Other)"



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 virtuous light



Headaches by the bottle, heartaches by the number

Six of one, half dozen of the other



I fell in love with a preachers daughter

They washed my soul in the holy water

I gave her my heart and bought her a 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'mstill searching for a way to be a winner



I roll box cars one way or another

Six of one, half dozen of the other
