Jamey Johnson - Bad Guy Lyrics

It wasn't always music but the times when it was music
Were still the greatest moments in my life
A moment is forever, forever is a memory
Dimly lit and fading out of sight
I won't mind to be happy
It don't make a damn who's right or wrong
So how did I become the bad guy in this song?

For better or for worse
Can we just skip the verse where we fuss and fight
My whole life is music but you don't get to choose it
It's my song to write
And this one ain't about you
It goes whatever way that I want
So how did I become the bad guy in this song?

I'm the one who held the pen, the misery and the gin
I picked the words and I turned the melody
I took nothing and made a song
But I held the pen so long it finally turned on me

And I wrote down these words so I could count the twists and turns
Try to see if I could tell when right went wrong
How did I become the bad guy in this song?
How did I become the bad guy in this song?
