Six of One, Half a Dozen (Of the Other)

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'm still searching for a way to be a winner I roll box cars one way or another Six of one, half dozen of the other
