I used to think bein’ clean was good.

 

I used to think that tellin’ the truth was good.

 

But now I don’t know.

 

Seems half the people feel the other way.

 

What happened?

 

My Daddy taught me that the truth was good.

 

Is he wrong? What’s wrong with the world?

 

I’m cryin’ seems like everything is the opposite,

 

What Daddy taught me.

 

 

 

I’m not gonna change. I’m gonna be clean. I’m gonna tell the truth.

 

I’m gonna do what my Daddy taught me. Even though he’s not here.

 

 

 

I’m not gonna change. I’m gonna be clean. I’m gonna tell the truth.

 

I’m gonna do what my Daddy taught me. Even though he’s not here.
