Don’t Do as I Do (Do as I Say)

Well, I've been tempted

And I've been tried

I made daddy proud

And watched momma as she cried

They both did their best

But I went astray

Don't do as I do, son

Do as I say

Don't do as I do

Do as I say

I've been on the right path

And I've gone the wrong way

I've been through the devil's wrath

And I've felt God's grace

Don't do as I do, son

Do as I say

I've learned things

I thought I knew

Disappointed

More than a few

I've lived wrong

But I'm better today

Don't do as I do

Do as I say

Don't do as I do

Do as I say

I've been on the right path

And gone the wrong way

I've been through the devil's wrath

And I've felt God's grace

Don't do as I do

Do as I say

I've been through the devil's wrath

And I've felt God's grace

Don't do as I do

Do as I say
