Take a Little Good Will Home Lyrics

Well I've always been a real free hearted kind of a feller
I've been known to give away the shirt right off of my back
To buy drinks and dance with every little girl that looks so lonely
A little common sense is about the only thing I lack
I just stopped here to drink one beer on a payday
I got to a feelin' real good the way a workin' man should about five
Now my money's all gone I've gotta go home to my baby
And she thinks I'm about the greatest little man alive
Bus she's been telling me that charity begins at home
And saying w**** if you're gonna be late at least phone
One man good will industry she's been a callin' me
And sayin' w**** you oughta bring a little good will home

Well I should have known better than to listen to you bartenders

But when advice is free it's all a fool like me can afford
And after listenin' to you I feel a whole lot worse instead of better
I could blame it on the talkin' but it might have been the drinks you poured
And now you're telling me that charity begins at home...
And sayin' w**** you sure took a little good will home
