[F] Even in a time [Fm] of bad [Bb] behavior
The devil [Ab] emptied up my [F] nursery too long
Even in a time of [Bb] bad behavior
It looks like [Ab] I've had too good for [F] what you've done
Being a songwriter, I want to share this with you.
I think this is one of the coolest [Gb] lines I ever wrote in my life.
So I wanted to make sure that you got it.
It says, [Fm] I'm up at dawn at the crack of dawn
[Bb] I've been working like a regular [F] dog
To keep my woman and the lights [C] in the water and the [Fm] phone turned on
I've been saying yes sir all day at work
I've [Bb] been saying yes ma [Fm]'am at home
I've been storing up [C] the fuck years, keeping them under [F] my tongue
Even in a time of bad [Bb] behavior
The devil [Ab] emptied up my nursery [F] too long
Even in a time of [Bb] bad behavior
It looks like I've [Ab] had too [F] good for what you've done
I've had this number on my mind [Bb] a while
I've been fighting off the urge [F] to call
A pretty little [C] strawberry blonde with a [Cm] southern bra
[Fm] Some [F] good old boys called from Alabama [Bb] said the fish has been a [F] missing me
Now I need [Cm] to renew my friendship with [F] Jim B
Even in a time of bad [Bb] behavior
The devil emptied [Ab] up my [F] nursery too long
Even in a time of [Bb] bad behavior
It looks [Ab] like I've had too good [F] for what you've done
Even in a time of [Bb] bad behavior
The devil [Ab] emptied up my nursery [F] too long
Even in a time of bad [Bb] behavior
It looks like I've [Ab] had too [F] good for what you've done
Even in a time
