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
