These Days

John Teague

If there's a lesson Imma learn it today

Talking to myself again

He was cussing like a old man out of fuel

Church in the morning didn't do what it should

Lord knows I ain't worth two damns

But I'm worth three according to him

He didn't mean no harm he ain't much for charm

Just a life lived having a hard day

Every single day you gotta check on them

Or they'll wind up just like this

In a bind we're in, she's sufferin'

Boy grab the 22 put an end to this

These days

You can't trust

Someone else to do it right

If you want it done you

do it yourself son

figure out real fast

Or take them cows to the sale

Couldn't do it, I couldn't shoot it

She meant too much to me

She represented every time I left

Can't imagine how she felt

She'd prolly been sick for a week or two

She ain't looked the same since winter came

We hauled off her baby sold it so

We could even afford the hay

This one was tough

I couldn't say much

Just give him the gun

He said "give me the gun" cause

These days

You can't trust

Someone else to do it right

If you want it done you

do it yourself son

figure out real fast

Or take them cows to the sale

Closed a chapter today

Hell I threw the whole book away

One second I'm enjoying life

The next I'm saying goodbye

I can't imagine me doin it alone

I've been fool I've been wrong

And I grin and bare it tonight

At the dinner table he called me out

He said

These days

You can't trust

Someone else to do it right

If you want it done you

do it yourself son

figure out real fast

Or take them cows to the sale

These days

You can't trust

Someone else to do it right

If you want it done you

do it yourself son

figure out real fast

These days

You can't trust

Someone else to do it right

If you want it done you

do it yourself son

figure out real fast

Or

Take them cows to the sale

Take them cows to the sale

Take them cows to the sale

Take them cows to the sale
