I don't go to church as much as I should
I ain't been to see my maman as often as I could
I've been partyin' too much and stayin' out too late
And according to the circuit judge I'm a no good reprobate
That maybe true so I don't have a clue
Tell me

What did I do to deserve this
This high this smile this kind of love I'm in
I know I'm a long way from perfect
But she says she likes me just the way I am
I can't believe it, it makes me nervous
What did I do to deserve this

She was looking for a challenge or some diamond in the rough
She like the kind of guy that needs a little tuning up
Was it my blue eyes that got her or my backwoods southern draw
Or the way I play this old guitar that got that girl to fall
Or could it be she's just got it bad for me
Tell me

What did I do to deserve this
This high this smile this kind of love I'm in
I know I'm a long way from perfect
But she says she likes me just the way I am
I can't believe it, it makes me nervous
What did I do to deserve this
