BR549 (originally spelled BR5-49) was an American country music band. Founded in 1993, the band originally comprised Gary Bennett (lead and background vocals, acoustic guitar), Don Herron (steel guitar, Dobro, fiddle, mandolin, acoustic guitar), "Smilin'" Jay McDowell (upright bass), Chuck Mead (lead and background vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar), and "Hawk" Shaw Wilson (drums, background vocals). Bennett and McDowell left the band in 2001, with Chris Scruggs and Geoff Firebaugh respectively replacing them. Both Firebaugh and Scruggs later left the band as well; Mark Miller has become the band's third bassist. The name of the band is an homage to comedian Junior Samples.

BR5-49 Even If It's Wrong lyrics 

I roll out every mornin' I drink my coffee on the run

Working for the man just the way my daddy done

Well the money I'm makin' ain't buyin' much bacon but when payday comes along

Sometimes I gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong

The telephone keeps ringin' and it gets under my skin

They all call to ask me when I'll send the money in

But AT&T does a favor for me and takes a message at the tone

Sometimes I gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong

Seems the road is gettin' rougher as I roll on up the hill

High times passin' by me just like I was standin' still

But I'm almost to the top and I'll go until I drop

Some fall by the wayside but I've gone too far to stop

The woman of my dreams she was like a livin' doll

I sent her far away when she set me for a fall

She was a digger and the bills got bigger and I was up against the wall

Sometimes you gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong

Now I hear those wolves a howlin' I can't get no sleep at all

The good Lord knows I'm tired of robbin' Peter to pay Paul

From the grind stone to the gravestone is it really worth it all

Sometimes you gotta do somethin' even if it's wrong

Seems the road is gettin' rougher...
