bending the rules and breaking the law
Growing up I was always mama's angel Never new I'd ever fall from grace I was taught to walk the cotton road of trouble But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways  I was proud to be in the bad news crowd The one my mama warned me about The closest thing to hell she's ever raised But when I look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today I'm proud of them all and I had a ball, bending the rules and breaking the law  We were bad about sneaking out and shooting road signs Throwing eggs and rollin' every yard in town Yeah my claim to fame was a Babe Ruth swing on a mailbox Yeah the police just love driving me around  'Cause I was proud to be in the bad news crowd The one my mama warned me about The closest thing to hell she'd ever raised But when I look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today I'm proud of them all and we had a ball bending the rules and breaking the law  Yeah you learn to walk away when you talk The DUI means SOL Respect was earned You live and learn to pray You learn to pray  We was proud to be in the bad news crowd The one our mamas warned us about The closest thing to hell they'd ever raised But when I look back on those days I knew we'd never change a thing Made mistakes that paved the way for the men we are today We're proud of them all and we had a ball Bending the rules and breaking the law Yeah I was bending the rules and breaking the law
