|
Growing up I was always mama's angel,
|
Never thought I'd ever fall from grace.
|
I was taught to walk with God and run from trouble,
|
But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways.
|
|
Yeah I was proud to be in the bad news crowd,
|
The one my mama warned me about,
|
The closest thing to hell she's ever raised.
|
But when I look back on those days,
|
I know I'd never change a thing.
|
I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today,
|
I'm proud of 'em all,
|
And I had a ball,
|
Bending the rules and breaking the law.
|
|
We were bad about sneaking out and shooting road signs.
|
Throwing eggs and rolling every yard in town.
|
Yeah, my claim to fame was a Babe Ruth swing on a mailbox.
|
Yeah,the police just loved driving me around.
|
|
'Cause I was proud to be in the bad news crowd,
|
The one my mama warned me about,
|
The closest thing to hell she's ever raised.
|
But when I look back on those days,
|
I know I'd never change a thing.
|
I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today,
|
I'm proud of 'em all,
|
And I had a ball,
|
Bending the rules and breaking the law.
|
|
You learn to walk the way you talk,
|
And DUI means SOL,
|
Respect is earned,
|
You live and learn to pray.
|
You learn to pray.
|
|
Yeah, we were proud to be in the bad news crowd,
|
One our mamas warned us about,
|
The closest thing to hell they ever raised.
|
But when we look back on those days,
|
I know we'd never change a thing,
|
We made mistakes that paved the way for the men we are today.
|
We're proud of 'em y'all,
|
And we had a ball,
|
Bending the rules and breaking the law.
