Bad Guy Lyrics by Jamey Johnson

Midnight Gasoline

2024

[Verse 1]
It wasn't always music but the times when it was music
Are still the greatest moments in my life
A moment is forever, forever is a memory
Dimly lit and fading out of sight
I want mine to be happy, it don't make a damn who's right or wrong
So how did I become the bad guy in this song?
[Verse 2]
For better or for worse, can we just skip the verse
Where we fuss and fight
My whole life is music but you don't get to choose it
It's my song to write
This one ain't about you, it goes whatever way I want
So how did I become thе bad guy in this song?
[Bridge]
I'm the one that held thе pen, the misery and the gin
I picked the words and I turned the melody
I took nothing and made a song but I held the pen so long
It finally turned on me
[Verse 3]
And I wrote down these words so I could count the twists and turns
Try to see if I could tell right went wrong
How did I become the bad guy in this song?
How did I become the bad guy in this song?
