That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy

Toby Keith · That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy [2008]

That don't make me a bad guy

It don't scar my resume

Don't you give me the black eye

Judging by my day to day

Easy to love and hard to keep

Let it dance on the wild side

I'm only good as I gotta be

Yeah that don't make me a bad guy



Chiva whiskey in a paper cup

Catch a buzz and I sober up

Comin' down with a pot-a-joe

Sleep it off and away I go

Runnin hard til the money's gone

Half a day and all night long

Get a girl with my romeo

Yeah love a while then it's adios



That don't make me a bad guy

It don't scar my resume

Don't you give me the black eye

Judging by my day to day

Easy to love and hard to keep

Let 'er dance on the wild side

I'm only good as I gotta be

Yeah that don't make me a bad guy



Yeah like a man I go to work

Feel clean in my dirty shirt

Ain't got a lot but I really try

I've gotten good at gettin' by

I'm a son of my daddy's name

Yeah mama's proud and everything

When it's time to make some noise

Boys will be boys



That don't make me a bad guy

It don't scar my resume

Don't you give me the black eye

Judging by my day to day

Easy to love and hard to keep

Let 'er dance on the wild side

I'm only good as I gotta be

Yeah that don't make me a bad guy



Villin or an outlaw

I might kiss yer girl

Or catch you with a south paw ain't

Dangerous, contankerous maybe

Just lookin' for a real good time

Yeah a real good time



Yeah



That don't make me a bad guy

It don't scar my resume

Don't you give me the black eye

Call me some kinda renegade

Easy to love and hard to keep

Let 'er dance on the wild side

I'm only good as I gotta be

Yeah that don't make me a bad guy



I'm only good as I gotta be

That don't make me a bad guy
