lyrics

It never mattered much to me
Whether I were good or bad
I lived my life without much thought
And I knew just how to get you mad
When it came to making my old bed
I guess I did a crummy job
I never tucked the corners in
And it made me look like a slob

Those were not my happy days
And I can't say I miss them
I acted out in crazy ways
And I know I can't dismiss them

I behaved atrociously
Often lied right through my teeth
On the surface I was cool
Tried to hide what was underneath
You'd think I was a rock star
Just the way I'd parade around
But when I hear my old songs
They make an unpleasant sound

Some folks they are sentimental
They pine away for a better time
But for me I prefer the now
Even though I am past my prime

When I think about my family
It only ever brings me pain
No matter how I try to wash them out
I can't remove the stain
Well things are not that perfect now
And there are times that I really suck
But when I think of how it used to be
I am thankful for my little luck
