Well, I changed my ways to please that woman But I could never be good enough I gave up drinkin' and took up churchin' And for awhile 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 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 than I should Yeah, for better or 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 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 than I should Yeah, for better or worse I'm gonna be bad for good Oh, somebody be bad I'm gonna wind it up tonight A little tighter that I should Yeah, for better or worse I'm gonna be bad for good Yeah, for better or worse I'm gonna be bad for good
