Bending The Rules And Breaking The Law

Bending The Rules And Breaking The Law
Growing up I was always mama's angel
Never thought I'd ever fall from grace
I was taught to walk with God and run from trouble
But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways
Yeah 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 know I'd never change a thing
I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today
I'm proud of 'em 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 rolling every yard in town
Yeah, my claim to fame was a Babe Ruth swing on a mailbox
Yeah,the police just loved driving me around
Yeah 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 know I'd never change a thing
I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today
I'm proud of 'em all
And I had a ball
Bending the rules and breaking the law
You learn to walk the way you talk
And DUI means SOL
Respect is earned
You live and learn to pray
You learn to pray
Yeah 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 know I'd never change a thing
I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today
I'm proud of 'em all
And I had a ball
Bending the rules and breaking the law
