"Bad Trick" lyrics - RAY WYLIE HUBBARD

Don't get any on you if you go to Nashville
Don't operate machinery if you're on Benadryl
You got to have some faith if you in a lion's den
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then

Club soda always don't remove ketchup stains
Ain't nothing you can take is gonna cure a migraine
Broken dreams is a premise in Of Mice and Men
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then

[Chorus:]
You've got to have some scars if you wanna be a poet
To get weeds out of a garden, you've got to hoe it
Possession with intent will get you five to ten
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then

Most gamblers know that they'll never break even
There's five stages to go through when you're grieving
The sword is always bloodier than the pen
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then

[Chorus:]
You've got to have some scars if you wanna be a poet
To get weeds out of a garden, you've got to hoe it
Possession with intent will get you five to ten
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then

Dancing is promiscuous after midnight
It's best to be content than to have to be always be right
You can't fix a broken heart with a bobby pin
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then

[Chorus:]
You've got to have some scars if you wanna be a poet
To get weeds out of a garden, you've got to hoe it
Possession with intent will get you five to ten
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then, woo

[Outro:]
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
