Do Right by Me

I never won at scratch-offs, but my daddy always bought 'em My great-aunt spent her life in Virginia pulling cotton I don't have no microwave or a flat screen TV If you don't do right by yourself, do right by me Do right by me Long as the winters are, sometimes your mind breaks up Bars are full by the afternoon and everybody's drunk Sometimes I look down the road for a sight I'll never see If you don't do right by yourself, do right by me Do right by me Do right by me Don't sell me down the river or put me out in misery Do right by me, do right by me I knew I had to get away, so I left that one-horse town Ain't much for a girl to do but get knocked up and settle down The only dream some people have is to win the lottery If you don't do right by yourself, do right by me Some people climb a ladder till they end up at the bottom Spending all their precious time on money, fame, and stardom All I ever wanted was my own song to sing If you don't do right by yourself, do right by me Do right by me Do right by me Don't sell me down the river or put me out in misery Do right by me Right by me Do right by me Do right Do right
