Do Me Right

I come from the poor side of town
Tooth Fairy she never come around
I don’t know but I’ve been told
Stay here long and you just grow old

But someday soon I’m gonna pack my bags
Start brand new, See you later Jack
See I’ve got a friend just across the tracks
She’s gonna help me get there and back

CHORUS
Just do me right, do me right
Baby, come on just a do me right
I’ll help you along, won’t do you wrong
Baby, baby just do me right

I can’t relive yesterday
Tomorrow may not come my way
I’ve spent just one too many years
Cryin’ just one too many tears

I used to believe in chariot skies
But calvary don’t come in my size
I’ve got a friend I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout
She specializes in the down and out

CHORUS

I wrote this in early 1994 in Tongduchon, South Korea. I was playing in a Southern Rock band on a 3 month tour of military bases up by the DMZ. For one month the band stayed off-base and across the railroad tracks from the little party area where the soldiers would go off base.

After our gigs we would meet up late at night with the Tongduchon party crowd, who would go across those railroad tracks to forget about home for a little while; and to forget that if North Korea were to attack they would be mulled over in a matter of minutes…

This song is about the juice girls and comfort girls across those railroad tracks.
