My momma said I been like this from the time I was born
Since I was a boy, my drug of choice was more
If it was a bet or a dare I swear I was your guyI did most of my livin′ on days I shoulda died
I've danced with the devil a hundred and too many times
I′ve pushed my luck so damn far, so far I'm all right
I ain't in the grave yet, but no one can say I ain′t tried
And I′ve chased crazy women
Made jukebox decisions
Did most of my livin' on days I shoulda died
Hey hey what can I say
All the good stories start the same way
If you′ve ever thunk it
Then I've probably done it
I′m better off now
That I settled down
But I'm nothing without them days that I shoulda died
I′m sweeter and wiser, but somewhere in the back of my mind
There's an old Zippo lighter lookin' for a fuse it can light
I might not today, but one day you know I just might
Spark that ol′ flame, throw it all away
For one of them good ol′ days I shoulda died
Hey hey what can I say
All the good stories start the same way
If you've ever thunk it
Then I′ve probably done it
I'm better off now
That I settled down
But I′m nothing without them days that I shoulda died
I've chased crazy women
Made jukebox decisions
Did most of my livin′ on days that I shoulda died
