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 ever gave to her was pain - I didn´t realise
the last thing I remember was the tears running from her eyes
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
something happened they´d always say - I was a little wild
I was a bad child

playing hookey, drinkin octane, I didn´t care anymore - no
always running against the grain, I was rotten to the core
I could live forever - until they threw me out the door
I was sleeping on the floor
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
something happened 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
something happened they´d always say - I was a little wild
some along the way now I´m living for a better day
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
running wild
