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
