Joe Nichols - Six Of One, Half A Dozen (Of The Other) lyrics

I do my best to play by the rules

I bend a couple even break a few

Don't get me wrong I wanna do her right

I just can't seem to live a virtuous life

Headaches by the bottle, heartaches by the number

Six of one, half a dozen of the other

I fell in love with a preacher's daughter

They washed my soul in the Holy Water

I gave her my heart and bought her a house

The devil broke in and he pulled me out

Now I owe the bank some money and I lost another lover

Six of one, half a dozen of the other

No matter how you add it up, it's always the same

I give it my best and all I get's the blame

I'm living, I'm loving and barely breaking even

Can't be me, must be the company I'm keeping, yeah

I went on out and made some brand new friends

Started my life all over again

Now some of them are saints and some of them are sinners

I'm still searching for a way to be a winner

I roll boxcars one way or the other

Six of one, half a dozen of the other

No matter how you add it up, it's always the same

I give it my best and all I get's the blame

I'm living and loving and barely breaking even

Can't be me, must be the company I'm keeping

I roll boxcars one way or the other

Six of one, half a dozen of the other

Six of one, half a dozen of the other

Half dozen of the other

I roll boxcars one way or the other

Six of one, half a dozen of the other
