Charlie Walker - Bad Things I Do lyrics

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)

It's hour past midnight I'm on my way home

And my guilty conscience won't leave me alone

Fot I've been out cheatin' with somebody new

What makes me do the bad things I do?

Back there at a truckstop I washed my face

And I checked the mirror for each tell-tell trace

For lipstick or makeup that might leave a clue

What makes me do the bad things I do?

I don't understand what gets in my mind

To make me keep cheatin' time after time

I've got a good woman so loving and true

What makes me do the bad things I do?

--- Instrumental ---

Tomorrow at breakfast I hope she won't see

Through my lying answers when she'll question me

I'll tell her that I met a friend we once knew

What makes me do the bad things I do?...
