I'm gonna build a private graveyard On the outskirts of town And if my baby don't get home tonight I'm a-gonna lower her down 'Cause it ain't right Lord, no, ev'rything ain't right
I saw her out just the other night She was really on a spree She was makin' love to some other guy Right there in front of me That ain't right Uh-huh, no, ev'rything ain't right
But I'm a-gonna buy her pretty things And try to change her mind 'Cause I gotta have her with me tonight I need her lovin' all of the time My heart ain't right Lord, no, ev'rything ain't right
I could build the highest bridges Over waters deep and wide To have her love back with me again It would ease this pain inside The world ain't right Uh-huh, no, ev'rything ain't right
And I find myself in darkness You took away the light And I know there's never been a fool Like me, before tonight That ain't right Lord, no, ev'rything ain't right
But I think I'll write my will out And sign it before too long You ain't a-gonna spend my money, uh-huh Not after this poor boy's gone That wouldn't be right
