Thrown To The Wolves

v1.

My dear old daddy told me long ago

This ol’ world son you’ll find as you grow

Is full of pranksters and wanksters

Look out for bankers and thieves

So I kept my eyes opened up wide while I drifted off to sleep

 

v2.

Police said, “Son do you know why I woke ya?

This ol’ park here, don’t ya know, is home to gangsters and whores.

Look out for junkies and disease!”

So I rolled my shirt sleeves down real tight and sipped on that ol’ Jim Beam

 

Chorus:

I ain’t never listened to my daddy

Not a single day in his whole life

And ain’t listen to no law or god

I just sit back and tip back and sit on the ol’ Jim Beam

 

v3.

Judge said, “Boy, what are you doin’ in front of me?

I’m gonna lock ya up, and throw away that key.

Be with those junkies and those thieves

I see it’s where you want to be

And some day if the time is right, maybe you will be set free.”

 

v4.

Preacher man said, “Son, what you dying’ from?”

God damn preacher man, where the hell you been

Don’t you know this whole world’s full of pranksters and wanksters

Is full of bankers and thieves

Is full of gangsters and whores

It’s full of junkies and disease

 

Bridge:

I ain’t live my life quite right, so I don’t know just where I’ll be

I said I ain’t live my live quite right, so I don’t know just where I’ll be

 

Chorus:

I ain’t never listen to my daddy, I ain’t never listened to daddy’s wife

And I ain’t listen to no law or god

I just sit back and tip back and sipped on that ol’ Jim Beam

Yeah I just sit back and tip back and sipped on that ol’ Jim Beam
