Ain't No Right Way
Toby Keith · White Trash with Money [2006]
she has to make a choice
precious baby girl
or bouncin' baby boy
she could either keep it
or give that child away
so she quit'school at morning
and became a mom that day
chorus:
Ain't no right way
to do the wrong thing
you can justify
but it's still black and white
paint it in any shade
but it won't change
ain't no right way
to do the wrong thing
News came on the TV
a mother cried and said
that her son was fighting for his lie
'cause her husband lost his head
if I had been a problem child
or if that boy were mine
I wouldn't beat him half to death
tryin'to make him walk the line
chorus
now I'm tired of politicians
tryin'to pass a law
they won't let our children pray
for the better of us all
if God blessed America then
how could someone vote
to take prayer from our classrooms
right when we need prayer the most
chorus
