Rascally but I’m Right

Performed by Bale Harrison and the Field Hands

Music and Lyrics by Alan Nafzger (1991)

Well I came here to tell you all,
I’m rascally but I’m right.
I’m a wanderin’ troublemaker
Staying out past neon night.
I get my takeout steak three times a day for my joy,
That’s more than any smooth-talk hustler here could deploy.

Got a big ol’ ceiling fan just humming while I sleep,
And a wild little kid who climbs around his daddy’s feet.
Yeah I’m a rambler and a gambler
Full of half-baked delight,
But I’m telling you
I’m rascally but I’m right.

When I finally settled down,
I picked a quiet place,
Built a little home I swore
No chaos could erase.
Now I’ve got a family that I brag on every night,
And I know I’ve got a shot at keeping mischief polite.

Got that same ol’ ceiling fan still humming while I sleep,
And my wild little kid still dancing circles by my feet.
I’m a rambler and a gambler
Living life with a bite,
And I’m telling you
I’m rascally but I’m right.
