I ain’t a bad man

but I do bad things.

I smoke and I drink

I spit and I fight.

I ain’t a bad man

but I do bad things.

 

I ain’t a good man

but I do good things.

I help little old ladies

I give money to charity

I ain’t a good man

but I do good things.

 

I ain’t no guitar player

but I do guitar playin’ things.

I do bends and rolls,

I pick and I strum.

I ain’t no guitar player

but I do guitar playin’ things.

 

I ain’t no republican

and I don’t do republican things.

Like casual racism

or lyin’ about war.

I ain’t no republican

and I sure as shit don’t do republican things.

 

I ain’t no wise man

and I won’t ever be.

Always something new to learn

and something new to understand.

I ain’t no wise man

and I won’t ever be.
