Well I changed my ways to please that woman But I could never be good enough Yeah, I gave up drinkin' and I took up churchin' And for a while it wasn't tough But barkeep I've made a decision after doing the best I could That for better or worse, I'm gonna be bad for good Chorus: So bring on the whiskey Turn up the jukebox loud These boots were made for tonkin' Warn every woman around I'm gonna wind it up tonight A little tighter that I should Yeah, for better of worse, I'm gonna be bad for good I really like my reputation And how I'm known all over town Of being the first in my generation To close every single honky tonk down I'm gonna be a tough act to follow Doin' what I said I would Yeah, for better or worse, I'm gonna be bad for good Chorus Oh, somebody be bad I'm gonna wind it up tonight A little tighter than I should For better or worse, I'm gonna be bad for good Yeah, for better or worse, I'm gonna be bad for good
