I used to be a bad kid Used to be bad news I used to get my kicks Used to get in my moods We used to get thrown out We used to fuck around Six drinks in the hole And i’m still drinking now But i’m okay this way Even though it fades It took me twenty-four years to say Sometimes i think you’re the only good thing i’ve got Steady up the reigns You’re the hero I know i’m not And i’ve heard that diamonds are made Under pressure and over time And i’ve heard the fine words you say Learned my lessons and drawn the line.
