Gettin’ Me Right

I've done a lot of messin' up
Gettin' me right
I had my fair share of heartbreaks and fights
That night I came home
With a cut under my right eye
Is the same I drank my first beer
And made my mama cry
And my daddy sat me down
Said "Boy don't be a fool
You got a little brother followin'
Every footstep and every move"

I've done a lot of messin' up
And not quite enough 'fessin up
But I got a good thing goin' now
No slowin' down
Keep it rollin' when the turns get rough
I got someone who loves me
And I got the Good Lord above me
So I can sleep in peace when I lay down at night
I've done a lot of messin' up gettin' me right

I've done a lot of messin' up
My senior year
Just lookin' for a big time
Let the Good Book disappear
My daddy sat me down
As he wiped his eyes clear
Said "You put a hurtin' on this family
And everything that we hold dear"

I've done a lot of messin' up
And not quite enough 'fessin up
But I got a good thing goin' now
No slowin' down
Keep it rollin' when the turns get rough
I got someone who loves me
And I got the Good Lord above me
So I can sleep in peace when I lay down at night
I've done a lot of messin' up gettin' me right

When I get a little one by my side
And he says he wants to be just like me
Daddy how do I?
And I'll say

I've done a lot of messin' up
And not quite enough 'fessin up
But I got a good thing goin' now
No slowin' down
Keep it rollin' when the turns get rough
I got someone who loves me
And I got the Good Lord above me
So I can sleep in peace when I lay down at night
I've done a lot of messin' up gettin' me right
I'm still workin' on gettin' me right
