I Did The Right Thing - Johnny Paycheck[00:00:01]
Written by:B.Braddock[00:00:02]
I pull into my driveway[00:00:11]
While the day is slowly dying in the west[00:00:14]
I look in that direction[00:00:23]
To the setting sun and the one who loved me best[00:00:25]
We cried and said goodbye[00:00:34]
Seems like a million years ago or was it yesterday[00:00:37]
She swore she'd always love me[00:00:46]
God I wonder if she still feels that way[00:00:49]
I did the right thing[00:00:57]
I did the right thing[00:01:02]
I went back to my wife[00:01:09]
Straightened out my life[00:01:12]
I did the right thing[00:01:16]
I walk in to the house[00:01:23]
And hear small voices singing Daddy's here[00:01:25]
The lady of the house puts down the beer she's drinking[00:01:34]
And says Hello dear[00:01:40]
While we make small talk[00:01:46]
My mind takes a long walk back to someone else[00:01:48]
And I close my eyes and repeat those little lies[00:01:57]
I often tell myself[00:02:02]
I did the right thing[00:02:09]
I did the right thing[00:02:14]
I went back to my wife[00:02:20]
Straightened out my life[00:02:23]
Lord I did the right thing[00:02:25]
My face is wet with teardrops[00:02:40]
I fumble for my wrist watch it's half past three[00:02:43]
Once more I was dreaming of the woman[00:02:51]
Who once said she'd die for me[00:02:55]
But I did what was right[00:03:02]
And it hurts me every night now that she's gone[00:03:05]
And all my friends are proud[00:03:14]
'Cause I gave her up to save my home[00:03:17]
I did the right thing[00:03:25]
Sure I did the right thing[00:03:30]
I went back to my wife[00:03:37]
Straightened out my life[00:03:40]
I did the right thing[00:03:44]
I did the right thing[00:03:51]
