I spent a summer down south, working for the county, trying to save for school
|
I blew it all like a damn fool on women and beer
|
I didn't have the grades but I had myself a major league fastball
|
Got a call from the minor leagues in Wichita and blew out my arm in the first year, ha-ha, yeah
|
|
Well, I took a good look at my life and decided I'd make a change
|
Booked me a flight on an airplane, I was 3rd world Peace Corps bound
|
But I met me a stewardess right there in the airport bar
|
Before I knew it I was in her car and never turned around
|
|
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck, hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun
|
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love, just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
|
|
I went to work for my uncle on the coast called the hot spot
|
We took our breaks on the boat docks and I got fired for smoking pot
|
with the beach right there I guess surfing was the logical next move
|
But I got mouthy with the wrong dude and got my damn jaw tattooed
|
|
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck, hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun
|
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love, just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
|
|
Alright
|
I bought an old guitar with cash from a good hand of blackjack
|
learned a few chord from a fat-back, hairy man named Pete
|
I got a local gig on the weekends in some old honky-tonk
|
Singing 2 hours of nothing but Cash songs, and I could always drink for free
|
And some so called big-wig, producer man started sniffing 'round
|
He told me he liked my sound but there was something holding me back
|
He said a rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat outta do the trick
|
I told him I had something he could stick, way on up his ass
|
|
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck, hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun
|
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love, just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
|
|
I'll send you a post card, send me your love, just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
|
Alright
|
but don't give up on me yet
|
I know I might take a little time
|
But I'm gonna come around
|
I just feel Like I still got a few things I gotta Get out of my system, ha ha
