Joe Nichols - The Early Years

Six of One, Half a Dozen (Of the Other)

I do my best to play by the rules
I've bend a couple, even break a few
Don't get me wrong, I wanna do it right
I just can't seem to live the virtuous life
Headaches by the bottle, heartaches by the numbers
Six of one, half dozen of the other

I fell in love with a preacher's daughter
They washed my soul in the holy water
I gave her my heart and bought her a house
The devil broke in, he broke me out
Now I owe the bank some money and I lost another lover
Six of one, half dozen of the other

CHORUS:
No matter how you add it up it's always the same
I give it my best and all I gets is blame
I'm livin', I'm lovin', and barely breakin' even
Can't be me, must be the company I'm keeping

I went all out and made some brand new friends
Started my life all over again
Now some of them are saints, and some of them are sinners
I'm still searchin' for a way to be a winner
I roll boxcars one way or the other
Six of one, half dozen of the other

CHORUS

I roll boxcars one way or the other
Six of one, half dozen of the other(2x)
Half dozen of the other
I roll boxcars one way or the other
Six of one, half dozen or the other
