I'm Gonna Act Right Lyrics - Nat Stuckey

I'm gonna quit rambling gambling stayin' out late at night 

I'm gonna go home where I belong and I'm gonna act right 

Today I got a letter from my wife and her lawyer friend 

It said they know everything I've been doing 

And they know every place that I've been 

They even had a bunch of pictures of me on a dance hall floor 

Then it went on to say if I didn't act right they could dig up a little bit more 

I'm gonna quit rambling... 

[ steel ] 

I turned the page right nervously and I slowly took a peek 

The money that they had me for I'd have to work a ten day week 

Well it ain't that I'm a coward I've always been pretty tough 

But honey you know I still love you how come you want to play so rough 

I'm gonna quit rambling... 

I'm gonna quit rambling...
