At fourteen, I was in custody for the first time
Innocent as always, I was just too slow
You picked me up, didn't say a word
When I was at home, it drove me away again

At sixteen, I thought freedom meant not giving a damn about anything
The boy from the small town wants to prove himself
I constantly stole from my sister
How much has to happen before you stop trusting me?

At nineteen, I get two years probation
Not the friends, but you, you pay the bill
Twenty-three thousand for a six-pack when it burns
During this time, I was afraid that you would separate

If I ever have children, I want to be like you
(I want to be like you)
I think what you're doing is shit, but I stand by you
If I ever have children, I want to be like you
(I want to be like you)
I think what you're doing is shit, but I stand by you, you, you
I stand by you
