(Jeff Waters)
My father tried to tell me "son just get your feet on the ground
you're in deep way over your head, just turn your life around"
poor mother, all I gave to her was pain - I didn't realize

the lest thing I remember was the tears running from her eyes
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
somthing hapened they'd always say - I was a little wild
I was a bad child
playing hookey, drinking octane, I didn't care anymore - no
allways running againstthe grain, I was rotten to the core
I could live forever - untill they threw me out the door
I was sleeping on the floor
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
somthing hapened they'd always say - I was a little wild
I was a bad child
My father tried to tell me "son, just get your feet on the ground
you're in deep way over your head" I've turned my life around
my mother was the best to me, I guess I never realized
one thing that I'll never forget was the tears running from her eyes
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
somthing hapened they'd always say - I was a little wild
something along the way now I'm living for a better day
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
running wild
