Lyrics
The Older I Get the Better I Was
I was a mothers worst nightmare, wilder than a march hare,
Devils little angel even at my best.
Dawn till sundown I could always be found somewhere stirrin' up a hornets nest
Give me an inch and I'ld strech it a mile, takin' every chance I had to go hogwild.
I'm gettin' meaner (or Honory) by the minute and that's because, The Older I Get the Better I Was.
CHORUS: Oh, trouble indeed, goin' down hill and I'm pickin' up speed,
Oh, it's all because, The Older I Get the Better I Was.
Stubborn as an old mule, bend the rule, crazy fool, meaner than the dicken's on a really good day.
I ws quite a handful, always up to some bull, I'm the reason Moma's hair turned gray.
That was back yonder in the good old days, I've since finetuned my wicked ways .
I'm gettin' meaner by the minute and that's because The Older I Get the Better I Was.
CHORUS........
BRIDGE: Bad to the bone and I can't help that,
if I was any good I wouldn't be half bad,
why couldn't heaven given just a tad to me?
I was a mother's worst nightmare, wilder than a March hare,
Devil's little angel even at my bestand gettin' meaner by the minute and that's because, The Older I Get the Better I Was.
CHORUS.....
