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