Lyrics
I was raised in a tin-can single-wide
with the woods and the swamp on either side
hard to keep three boys out of trouble
but momma tried, momma tried
got three tv stations on rabbit ears
kept us occupied for a couple of years
till us boys found out a women, driving trucks, and drinking beers
yeah we raised some hell and stayed out all night
got myself in a couple of fights
living fast was the only way that I could fee alive
I know good and bad ain't black and white
and it's all 20/20 in hindsight
well mines a little fuzzy
and crazy as I was we probably should have died
but I guess I turned out alright
I was 18 when my momma died
her three grown boys sat by her side
she said look out for each other
momma tried, momma tried
well that sure will make you grow up fast
and I swore my wilder days had passed
but as much as they were meant my good intentions didn't last
'cause we raised some hell and stayed out all night
got myself in a couple of fights
living fast was the only way that I could feel alive
you know good and bad ain't black and white
and it's all 20/20 in hindsight
well mines a little fuzzy
and crazy I was we probably should have died
but I guess we turned out alright
yeah I guess I turned out alright
I wouldn't be the man that I am today
if I had grown up in that proper way
and if everything had gone just right
I wouldn't be singing to you tonight
I know momma's smiling down on me
laughing 'bout how bad we used to be
and you might get your life for free
but it sure don't come with a guarantee
'cause we raised some hell and stayed out all night
got myself in a couple of fights
living fast was the only way that I could feel alive
you know good and bad ain't black and white
and it's all 20/20 in hindsight
well mines a little fuzzy
and crazy I was we probably should have died
but I guess I turned out alright
yeah I guess I turned out alright
yeah I guess I turned out alright
