GOOD WOMAN BAD
Pat McLaughlin, Roger Younger

She was out last night till way past ten.
Same thing all over again but with my best friend.
Why'd she wanna make me so mad?
I treat that bad woman good, and, Lord, I need a good woman bad.

Now when I asked her to go to Sunday school,
She went and called me a damned old fool.
Now I don't understand:
Why'd she wanna make me so sad?
I treat that bad woman good, and, Lord, I need a good woman bad.

Here she comes.
There she goes.

Well, I saved my money and I bought her a car.
She got it stolen outside the bar.
She looks good but she might not be
The kind of woman that I'm likely to need.

Well, I don't know why I let her walk on me.
She's impolite as she can be.
Now I'm startin' to think, hey, maybe I've been had.
I treat that bad woman good, and, Lord, I need a good woman bad.

[Recorded by Tim O'Brien, Josh Turner, and Pat McLaughlin.]
