Grew up on the end of a dead-end street Mom and daddy had to fight to make ends meet I was troubled by the time I turned fifteen Picked up some vices Just tryna be bigger in my small town Mama tried and I wanted to make her proud But I found the learn the hard way out I ain't turnin' around Man, I lived Damn, I loved Hell I drank all the whiskey there was to drink I never learned to say "enough" I went fast God, I tried hard Burned my candle at both ends looking for something And I ain't sorry for nothing She was everything to me for a while I'd break the law to see her smile That kept me slow down for a while But I was meant for running Man, I lived Damn, I loved Hell I drank all the whiskey there was to drink I never learned to say "enough" I went fast God, I tried hard Burned my candle at both ends looking for something And I ain't sorry for nothing One day they'll put me in the ground I'll take a ride up through the clouds Ain't gonna give me no gold crown And I'll know the reason Man, I lived Damn, I loved Hell I drank all the whiskey there was to drink I never learned to say "enough" I went fast God, I tried hard Burned my candle at both ends looking for something And I ain't sorry for nothing I ain't sorry for nothing I ain't sorry for nothing
