I'm Gonna Act Right
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm gonna quit rambling gambling stayin' out late at night
I'm gonna go home where I belong and I'm gonna act right
Today I got a letter from my wife and her lawyer friend
It said they know everything I've been doing
And they know every place that I've been
They even had a bunch of pictures of me on a dance hall floor
Then it went on to say if I didn't act right
They could dig up a little bit more
I'm gonna quit rambling...
[ steel ]
I turned the page right nervously and I slowly took a peek
The money that they had me for I'd have to work a ten day week
Well it ain't that I'm a coward I've always been pretty tough
But honey you know I still love you how come you want to play so rough
I'm gonna quit rambling...
I'm gonna quit rambling...
