Do Right By Me

Never won at scratch-offs, but my daddy always bought 'em
My great-aunt spent her life in Virginia pullin' cotton
I don't no microwave or a flat-screen TV
If you don't do right by yourself, do right by me
Do right by me
Long as the winters are, sometimes your mind breaks up
Bars are full by the afternoon and everybody's drunk
Sometimes I look down the road for a sight I'll never see
If you don't do right by yourself, do right by me
Do right by me
Do right by me, don't sell me down the river, put me out in misery
Do right by me
Do right by me
Knew I had to get away so I left that one-horse town
Ain't much for a girl to do but get knocked up and settle down
The only dream some people have is to win the lottery
If you don't do right by yourself, do right by me
Some people climb a ladder 'til they end up at the bottom
Spendin' all their precious time on money, fame, and stardom
All I ever wanted was my own song to sing
If you don't do right by yourself, do right by me
Do right by me
Do right by me
Don't sell me down the river, put me out in misery
Do right by me
Do right by me
