At Least I Didn't Do That Songtext

At Least I Didn't Do That

I've been the shadow of a man I used to be
I watched you hold your breath while you prayed for me
Found the good inside, and set it free
To walk with you in stride
I listened while you told me about your world view
Righteous was your claim, but you abused
You left your kids, your home – for someone new
And you preach about wrong and right, yeah

At least I didn't do that – oh no – at least I didn't do that – no
At least I didn't do that – I would do a thing like that – no
At least I didn't do – I ain't like you – at least I didn't do that

I've seen the devil buy a shot for a dying a man
Held a spoon to the flame at the other end
And that's a game I couldn't win
So I made myself a life
You manipulated men for opportunity
You played Russian Roulette for their sympathy
But the game you play is up you see
Cause I know the gun is empty – yeah

At least I didn't do that … etc.

I pulled your letter from a box the other day
But that's not the way you communicate
It's a finger in the face, you walk away
Messing with my mind
I know I've been low and pulled a job or two
But, I can't compare with the things you do
You got five from the Feds and the prison blues
And I shake my head and say

At least I didn't do that … etc.
