What was always good enough for you, Pa
Hate to say, ain't good enough for me
Ploughing fields and planting seeds
'Til your mind and body bleeds, no way
Up before dawn, and you stop when you drop
Then you ask your God to forgive
Prayin' for rain, without rain there's no crop
This ain't no way to live
What was always good enough for you, Pa
Will not satisfy your wayward son
Jesse James had much more fun
Buildin' dreams with just a gun
That's how the west was won
What was always good enough for you, Ma
Gotta say, ain't good enough for me
Makin' punch and bakin' pies
Paintin' barns and swattin' flies... oh no
Writin' a diary is tough around here
Boring as hell - sorry Ma
I wanna wear diamonds
One stud for each ear
Bright as the morning star
What was always good enough for you, Ma
Will not satisfy your little girl
More to life than pottin' plants
I don't wanna miss my chance
I'm lookin' for romance
This country's had it's day
Depression and bread lines
Are all that tomorrow will bring (Tell 'em, Clyde)
The bible has got it wrong
Just look at the poor, babe
The meek don't inherit a thing
There ain't nothin' good enough for us, kid
We deserve all we are gonna get
This world should be notified
It'll be a bumpy ride
Thanks to Bonnie and Clyde
