I Ain't All Bad

(Johnny Duncan)



I picked last night in Tucson

I sang 'em a country song

Missed my plane this morning

Kord, 'cause we parted all night long.



I'm out here now usin' my thumb

Tryin' to make it to El Paso

'Cause tonight I play at the caborete

They done told it on the radio.



To a country singer it's a lonesome road

With time hangin' heavy on my hands

If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love

Baby, that don't makes me all bad.



I've been high and I've been low

And I've been to San Antone

But the worst by far than I've ever been

Was when I've been alone.



Tomorrow night I'm in Austin

I've got some old friends there

'Cause there's old Jeff and Willie and Sam

And a girl with the long dark hair.



To a country singer it's a lonesome road

With time hangin' heavy on my hands

If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love

Baby, that don't makes me all bad.



There's one last stop down in Shreveport

On this tour of one night stands

And I've got some time but no peace of mind

Till I'm back on the road again.



If my old guitar had learned to talk

It'll tell about the things I done

There's a mighty good woman back in big D

But never ever let me come home.



To a country singer it's a lonesome road

With time hangin' heavy on my hands

If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love

Baby, that don't makes me all bad.



If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love

Baby, that don't makes me all bad...
