Couldn't Do Nothin' Right
By Gary P. Nunn & Karen Brooks
As Sung By Jerry Jeff Walker on
"It's A Good Night For Singing"

 G                         D
 The lamp is broken on the mantle
 G                                D
 My mind is blown and I'm turning away
 G                            D
 It's Gettin' more than I can handle
 G                            D
 It's Gettin' more than I can say
 
 CHORUS:
 C          D              G
 I couldn't stay here if I wanted
 C          D              Em
 I couldn't stay here if I tried
 C        D          G           Em
 You were always disappointed in me
 C             D                G
 Guess I could never do nothing right


Well, I worked hard to make a living
To make that good life dream come true
But you wanted more than I was giving
I guess that was more than I could do            

(chorus)

You cut my heart like the cards on the table
It seemed like fun for you to keep playin' on
Well, I let you in as long as I was able
But now all your games have done been run          

(then chorus)
