| 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,
|
| The DUI means SOL,
|
| Respect is earned,
|
| You live and learn and 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. |
