Couldn’t Do Nothin’ Right Songtext
von David Allan Coe

The lamp is broken on the mantle
I′m getting tired and I'm going away
It′s getting more than I can handle
There's nothing left for me to say
I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn′t stay here if I tried
You were always so disappointed in me
I could never do nothing right
You cut my heart like the cards on the table
You know the game, do you know the odds?
I′d let you win if I were able
But how can you win this love you've lost?


I couldn′t stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
You were always so disappointed in me
I could never do nothing right
I work hard to make a living
To make a living right for you
You wanted more than I was giving
That was more than I could do
I couldn′t stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
You were always so disappointed in me
I could never do nothing right
