Dad always said boys will be boys
C Bm

In fact they called it growing pains

They kept the faith and brought me through

I still make a mistake or two

G D C D
But like all kids I lived and learned
C D
Play with fire and you'll get burned
G D C D
I bucked the system day and night

Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine

Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool

It's clear to me now I was a fool
