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 aroundPoor mother, all I gave to her
Was pain I didn't realize
The last thing I remember
Was the tears running from her eyesSomething happened along the way
Bad child
Something happened they'd always say
Bad childFour three two one
YeahPlaying hockey, drinkin' octane
I didn't care anymore, no
Always running against the grain
I was rotten to the coreI could live forever
Until they threw me out the door
I was sleeping on the floorSomething happened along the way
I was a bad child, a bad child
Something happened they'd always say
I was a little wild, I was a bad child, yeah, goMy 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 aroundMy mother was the best to me
I guess I never realized
The one thing that I'll never forget
Was the tears running from her eyesSomething happened along the way
I was a bad child, bad child
Something happened they'd always say
I was a little wild, I was a little wildSomething happened along the way
Now I'm living for a better day
Something happened along the way
I was a bad child
