How to Be Righteous

HOW TO BE RIGHTEOUS
By Lori McKenna

Don't judge me
I will judge myself
I will lie in my bed at night
Wide awake or asleep
I will feel pain
When I know I have given it
Everything I put out to the world
I know comes back to me

But when angels hear the devils callin'
And my vision's unclear I got no sense at all
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
I want to learn
How to be righteous...

I saw it on a TV show
I bought the book you know
Paid attention when I thought
The teacher was talking to me
But it's not easy no
To get over, let it go
All these feelings that are burning
And building up inside of me

But when angels hear the devils callin'
And my vision's unclear I got no sense at all
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
I want to learn
How to be righteous...

So I'll look at all I have and I will claim it
Won't let anybody else ever tell me who I should be
I'll look in the mirror and gaze in my children's eyes
And I will not give a damn about
What anybody else thinks of me

And when questions come, I will answer right
Be true to myself, need be put up a fight
Will not heed to greed, I will obey my conscience

I want to learn
I need to learn
How to be righteous...

So when angels hear the devils callin'
And my vision's unclear I got no sense at all
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience

I want to learn
I need to learn
