"RIGHT THING TO DO"
© C. Wayne Barnes Sr.
This song was produced by Lloyd Maines & recorded by Jack Tyson in the 80's.
It was also on the 1998 Chuck Barnes CD, "Another Boy From Lubbock"
Iv'e misread lots of signs, on the highway of life,
I left the highway to pay all my dues,
stopped on the green lights, went ahead on the red,
at the time, it was the right thing to do.
Iv'e hung out with losers, when I couldn't win,
sometimes I felt so untrue,
Iv'e been so smart, I made a fool of myself,
at the time, it was the right thing to do.
(Chorus)
Oh the right thing to do, at the time things happen,
are things that we feel right to do,
though we might feel different now, our feelings got no brains,
and at the time, it was the right thing to do.
I bankrupted my mind, on high priced thoughts,
the inflated cost of living it's true
I kept on a breathin on, it seemed so natural,
at the time, it was the right thing to do.
Well I regret at times, past behaviours of mine,
and the chances of a lifetime I blew,
but I console myself, things happen like they should,
at the time, it was the best I could do.
(Chorus)
Oh the right thing to do, at the time things happen,
are things that we feel right to do,
though we might feel different now, our feelings got no brains,
and at the time, it was the right thing to do.
More to come!
