Growing up I was always mama's angel
Never thought I'd ever fall from grace
I was taught to walk for God and run from trouble
But I ran with the crowd,
it was bound to change my ways
Yeah, I was bound to be in the bad news crowd
Wanted my mama to warn me about
The closest thing to hell she's ever raised
But with a look back on those days
I knew I'd never change a thing
I made mistakes to pave the way for the man I am
Today I'm proud of them all
And I am a ball, bending rules and breaking
the law We were battled by 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 bound to be in the bad news crowd
Wanted my mama to warn me about The
closest thing to hell she's ever raised
But with a look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing
I made mistakes to pave the way for the
man I am Today I'm proud of them all
And I am a ball,
bending 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 bound to be in the bad news crowd Wanted our mamas
to warn us about The closest thing to hell they ever raised
But with a look back on those days I knew we'd never change a thing
We made mistakes to pave the way for the man we are today
I'm proud of them all,
y'all Yeah,
we had a ball,
bending rules and breaking the law
Yeah, I was bending the rules
and breaking the law
