Ah, when I was a boy I was wild I was lazy
I was the shame of my dad
Yes, the women and the wine, they were drivin' me crazy
It was so good to be bad
And I got a job runnin' cheap bootleg whiskey
Down on the Arkansas line
From Memphis to Pine Bluff in a hopped up ole Jimmy
I had to be out of my mind
Well, you'll know the crop by the seeds that are sowed
Do all your plantin' with care
Water and ground will make anything grow
But a weeds still a weed anywhere
I met a girl in a bar down in Memphis
She was the good lookin' kind
She told me how she was drawn to the misfits
Trouble was all I did find
Verse 1 + Chorus
