Made Me This Way - Charlie Farley, Ryan Miller

I got some rough edges

No I ain’t no saint

(No I ain’t no saint)

I’ve done things I know I shouldn’t

And I took all the blame

(And I took all the blame)

But it’s been a long time

Since I made the same mistakes

(The same mistakes)

I’m living with those lessons learned

Of what made me this way

Just a young lad with a vodka

And a half a bottle of pills

I was always popping them up and downers

I was in love with them hills (hills)

I guess the best I could

Didn’t know right from left yet did good

I was more impressed with being the redneck

With the wild woman in the truck bed (cha-ching)

Having sex and then after sex

My buddy takes her next

We acted as if we didn’t have respect

For anyone, that’s big facts

But to get it you gotta give it

I had to live it to spit it

So I spent them late nights spinning

Higher than a New York pidgeon (prrr)

Never checked in, momma asking

«Where you been?"I been with friends

What she didn’t know woulda crushed her soul

'Cause I was on a two-week binge (sorry momma)

While she was nightly praying

For the Lord to forgive me for my sins

No we live states apart, I stare in the dark

Thinking about back then (yeah)

I got some rough edges

No I ain’t no saint

(No I ain’t no saint)

I’ve done things I know I shouldn’t

And I took all the blame

(And I took all the blame)

But it’s been a long time

Since I made the same mistakes

(The same mistakes)

I’m living with those lessons learned

Of what made me this way

Well I did a little growing up

Started showing up to work on time (time)

But punching that timeclock

Got old quick and I quit (peace)

Then I met a chick and it

Started getting serious (it did)

She came home one day

And said that she was pregnant with my kid (that's right)

So I did what everyone here did

I bought a ring and started talking marriage

But it wasn’t horses in a carriage (nah)

It was screaming, cussing, and yelling

Had I known then what I do now

Had I know that kids having kids seldom work out

But I didn’t so I just bounced

Every chance I’d get I was staying lit

Riding in that Tahoe

With a bottle and some so-called «friends»

While my wife was at home crying, no lying

I was dumb as shit

And the sad thing is I’d done this

For a long time before she left

Now I live with the regrets (yeah)

I got some rough edges

No I ain’t no saint

(No I ain’t no saint)

I’ve done things I know I shouldn’t

And I took all the blame

(And I took all the blame)

But it’s been a long time

Since I made the same mistakes

(The same mistakes)

I’m living with those lessons learned

Of what made me this way
