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
