Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
I spent a summer down south, working for the county, trying to save for school
I blew it all like a damn fool on women and beer
I didn't have the grades but I had myself a major league fastball
Got a call from the minor leagues in Wichita and blew out my arm the first year, yeahWell, I took a good look at my life and decided I'd make a change
Booked me a flight on an airplane, I was third world Peace Corps bound
But I met me a stewardess waiting right there in the airport bar
Before I knew it I was in her car and never turned aroundWell, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck,
Hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love,
Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing upI went to work for my uncle on the coast at a club called the Hot Spot
We took our breaks on the boat docks and I got fired for smoking pot
With the beach right there I guess surfing was the logical next move
But I got mouthy with the wrong dude and got my damn jaw tattooedWell, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck,
Hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love,
Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up, alrightI bought an old guitar with cash from a good hand of blackjack
Learned a few chord from a fat-back, hairy man named Pete
I got a local gig on the weekends in some old honky-tonk
Singing two hours of nothing but Cash songs, and I could always drink for free
And some so called big-wig, producer man started sniffing around
He told me he liked my sound but there was something holding me back
He said a rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat outta do the trick
I told him I had something he could stick, way on up his a**Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck,
Hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love,
Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
I'll send you a post card, send me your love,
Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
AlrightBut don't give up on me yet
I know I might take a little time
But I'm gonna come around
I just feel like I've still got a few things I gotta get out of my system
