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
