Lyrics
Man, I almost lost her
I'm glad she gave me another chance
My friends, I got something I wanna say
And I want everybody to listen to me good
You know, everybody who knows me
Knows I have a good wife
She does not drink, party, gamble, or smoke
And that's the kind of woman every man wants
Ain't that right? (Yeah, I know that's right)
And me? Everybody knows I'm no good
Drinking, gambling
I mean, just messing around with women, huh
I do not even deserve her
Oh, I am such a lucky man, yes, I am
This morning when I came home
She gave me a choice
She said, "Me or the road?"
Let me tell you all what I've decided to do about it
I hope you all understand
I gotta clean up what I messed up
Start my life over again
I'm gonna clean up (yes, I am) what I messed up
Starting my life over again (oh, hear me y'all)
I made up my mind
I ain't cheating no more (no more)
If I don't stop
She might let me go
I gotta clean up what I messed up (oh)
Starting my life over again
Oh, y'all I'm gonna clean up what I messed up
Starting my life over again (oh, hear me y'all)
I made up my mind
I ain't gambling no more (no more)
Losing all our money
Just got to go
I gotta clean up what I messed up (yes, I am)
Starting my life over again
Y'all, I'm gonna clean up what I messed up
Starting my life over again (everybody listen)
I made up my mind
I ain't lying no more (no more)
'Cause if I do
I'll have to go
I gotta clean up what I messed up
Starting my life over again (I'm trying to tell you)
I'm gonna clean up what I messed up
Starting my life over again (oh, listen to me good)
All you women out there
Who I've been singing
Nope, you didn't do nothing wrong, nothing
I just can't see you no more
I gotta make the change
You see, listen
I'm tired of doing wrong, yes I am (oh, yes)
And I'm gonna do right from now on
And maybe there's someone else out there
Who've done wrong (oh, yes) and wanna do right
Well, here's your chance, will it be you
Or will it be both of you? (Oh, yes)
Let me ask you something, can I?
Have you did somebody wrong? (Oh, yes)
Have you lied on somebody? (Oh, yes)
Have you cheated on somebody? (Oh, yes)
Do you stay out all night gambling? (Oh, yes)
Partying all night long, huh? (Oh, yes)
Do you spend too much money on gambling? (Oh, yes)
And can't even pay your bills or buy food for the children to eat?
Do you? Tell me (oh, yes)
Now, I believe some of y'all
Got a good wife or a good husband at home (oh, yes)
Why don't you just say this to yourself?
I'm gonna clean up what I messed up
Starting my life over again
I'm gonna clean up (say it to yourself)
What I messed up (that's all you gotta do)
Starting my life over again
I've got to clean up, oh, what I messed up (oh, yes)
Starting my life over again (oh, yes)
I've got to clean up what I messed up (oh, yes)
Starting my life over again (oh, yes)
No more partying for Marvin
Clean up what I messed up (no more gambling)
Start my life over again (oh, yes)
No more staying out all night long
Clean up what I messed up
No more messing around with women
Starting my life over again, oh yes
If I can do it, you can too (clean up)
I know you can (what I messed up)
All you got to do is (starting my life over again, oh, yes)
