Six of One, Half A Dozen (Of the Other) - Joe Nichols

I do my best to play by the rules

I’ve bend a couple even break a few

Don’t get me wrong, I wanna do right

I just can’t seem to live in a virtuous light

Headaches by the bottle, heartaches by the number

Six of one, half dozen of the other

I fell in love with a preachers daughter

They washed my soul in the holy water

I gave her my heart and bought her a house

The devil broke in and broke me out

Now I owe the bank some money and I lost another lover

Six of one, half dozen of the other

No matter how you add it up it’s always the same

I give it my best and all I gets the blame

I’m living and loving and barely breaking even

Can’t be me must be the company I’m keeping

I went on out and made some brand new friends

Started my life all over again

Now some of them are saints and some of them are sinners

I’mstill searching for a way to be a winner

I roll box cars one way or another

Six of one, half dozen of the other
