[Eb] [Ab] [Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] [Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] Wrote an [Bb] article about someone's [Cm] mom who's an angel
[Ab] And if I [Bbm] thought I'd hear a [Cm] thoughtful grace
I [Ab] was told to [Bb] walk God around [Cm] the trouble
[Ab] But I ran with a crown, did fine to change [Bb] my ways
Yeah, [Eb] I found a piggy in the bad news crowd
[Bb] One my mama warned [Eb] me about
The closest thing to hell she's [Ab] ever raised
But [Eb] when I look back on those days
I knew I'd never change a thing
[Cm] I [Eb] made mistakes to pay the way [Ab] for the man I am today
I [Fm] battled law, and I [Bb] had a ball
Renting rules and breaking [Ab] the law
[Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] [Bb] [Cm]
[Eb] We were battled by [Bb] sneaking out, [Cm] shooting road signs
[Ab] [Eb] Throwing eggs and blowing up yard [Cm] in the town
[Ab] Yeah, my claim to fame [Bb] was a Babe Ruth swang [Cm] off mailbox
Yeah, [Ab] the police just loved driving me [Bb] around
[Eb] Cause I found a piggy in the bad news crowd
[Bb] One my mama warned me [Cm] about
The [Eb] closest thing to hell she's [Ab] ever raised
[Eb] But when I look back on those days
I knew [Bb] I'd never change a thing
[Cm] I made [Eb] mistakes to pay the way for [Ab] the man I am today
I brought [Fm] up law, and I [Bb] had a ball
Renting rules and breaking [Ab] the law
You learn [Bb] to walk the way you talk
[Ab] The DUI means SOL
[Bb] Respect is earned, you live and learn
[Ab] [Bb] Pray, yeah, [Ab] yeah
You learn [Bb] to pray
Yeah, we [Eb] were proud to be in the bad news crowd
[Bb] One our mamas warned us about
[C] The closest [Bb] thing to hell they [Ab] ever raised
[Eb] But when I look back on those days
I knew [Bb] we'd never change a thing
[Cm] I made mistakes [Bb] to pay [Eb] the way for [Ab] the man we are today
I brought up [Fm] law, and I had [Bb] a ball
Renting rules and breaking [Ab] the law
[Bb] Yeah, [Cm]
I spent the [Ab] [Bb] rules, breaking [Cm] the law
