lyrics

when I was a kid man I loved to go out and be bad / my folks were going Kokomo trying to keep me controlled / it would have stung like a son of a gun getting thrown in the hole (I didn't know that though!) / I was goosing Chuck Will's Widow / man my hand had a will of its own / the cops wrote me a ticket the judge said the amount that I owed / she said "be glad it isn't prison" / I got a job and I'm old now / It's all the same to me / to get to hell you gotta D-I-G / make with the poetry / come on mama shake an L-E-G / I was taken to the graveyard by my pop / when the tailgate drops the bullshit stops / take a look around you if it's written on a coozy it's true / I try to stay my ground but still my pool my rules / well I'll try to stick around but what's written on a tombstone is true / and I try to stay my ground but still my pool my rules
