I Ain’t Been Living Right Songtext
von Dale Watson

Yesterday, I sat down, pen and paper in my hand
Decided to evaluate my life
There were a lot of pros, a lot more cons
I′m somewhere in between
To be honest, I ain't been living right

Out of the ten commandments, I reckon I broke eight
I reckon you can reckon on which two I didn′t break
I know nobody's perfect, I'm not perfect, but I say
To be honest, I ain′t been living right

I gotta change my ways, gotta change my direction
Stop my complaining, start counting blessings
Love a little more, be way more kind
To be honest, I ain′t been living right


Now, the older that I get
Find I'm finding more regrets
Regrets that have been lurking in my mind
Maybe I′ll find solace in my old way, can't forget
And forget I ain′t been living right

I gotta change my ways, gotta change my direction
Stop my complaining, start counting blessings
Love a little more, be way more kind
To be honest, I ain't been living right

Yeah, I gotta change my ways, gotta change my direction
Stop my complaining, start counting blessings
Love a little more, be way more kind
And maybe I′ll start living right

Yesterday, I sat down, pen and paper in my hand
