My father tried to tell me: 'Son just get your feet on the ground You're in deep, way over your head, just turn your life around' Poor mother, all I gave to her was pain, I didn't realize The last thing I remember was the tears running from her eyes Somethin' happened along the way (bad child) Somethin' happened they'd always say (bad child) A four, three, two, one Go! Yeah! Playin' hookey, drinkin' octane, I didn't care anymore - no Always runnin' against the grain, I was rotten to the core I could live forever - until they threw me out the door I was a sleeping on the floor Somethin' happened along the way - I was a bad child (Bad child) Somethin' happened they'd always say - I was a little wild I was a bad child yeah! Go! My father tried to tell me: 'Son, just get your feet on the ground You're in deep, way over your head' I've turned my life around My mother was the best to me, I guess I never realized One thing that I'll never forget was the tears running from her eyes Somethin' happened along the way - I was a bad child (Bad child) Somethin' happened they'd always say - I was a little wild (I was a little wild) Somethin' happened along the way Now I'm livin' for a better day Somethin' happened along the way - I was a bad child Hahahahaha
