everything ain't right

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

unt-uh

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

unt-uh

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

unt-uh

not after this poor boy's gone

that wouldn't be right

lord

no

ev'rything ain't right.
