bad for good

well

i changed my ways to please that woman

but that could never be good enough

i gave up drinkin' and i took up churchin'

for a while it wasn't tough

but barkeep i've made a decision

after doing the best i could

that for better or worse

i'm gonna be bad for good

so

bring on the whiskey

turn up the jukebox loud

these boots were made for talking

worn every woman around

i'm gonna wind it up tonight

a little tighter than i should

and for better or worse

i'm gonna be bad for good

i really like my reputation

and how i'm known all over town

of being the first in my generation

to close every single honky tonk down

i'm gonna be a tough act to follow

doin' what i said i would

and for better or worse

i'm gonna be bad for good

i'm gonna wind it up tonight

a little tighter than i should

and for better or worse

i'm gonna be bad for good

yeah

for better or worse

i'm gonna be bad for good
