[Verse 1]
I got the coffee on time
Paid the bills by noon
Kept my shirt pressed clean
Still lost my whole damn room
Did the right thing, baby
Wrote it all in pen
But the harder I try
The more I lose again
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m walkin’ straight
Through a bent-up world
Got both hands full
And it still unfurls
[Chorus]
Doing everything right
Everything comes out wrong
Doing everything right
I’ve been holdin’ on too long
You call it luck
I call it a storm
Doing everything right
Everything comes out wrong
[Verse 2]
The porch light buzzed on
When I pulled up late
Violin in the hall
Like it knew my state
Mama said, son
You can’t outrun rain
So I smiled real hard
And wore the blame
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my boots planted
On a shaky floor
One good promise
Turns into three more
[Chorus]
Doing everything right
Everything comes out wrong
Doing everything right
I’ve been holdin’ on too long
You call it luck
I call it a storm
Doing everything right
Everything comes out wrong
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m tired
Maybe I’m cursed
Maybe that old map
Was leading me first
But I still got a name
And a scar to show
I can lose this round
But I won’t fold
[Chorus]
Doing everything right
Everything comes out wrong
Doing everything right
I’ve been holdin’ on too long
You call it luck
I call it a storm
Doing everything right
Everything comes out wrong
