Well I used to be bad
I was born to lose and my travelin' shoes was the only shoes I had
Well I used to be cool
I was that Sunday afternoon sunken drunken stumblin' fool
'Till I met your momma

She pulled me outta that terrible fix
Well I know daddy's been away awhile
Cause it's been hard to teach an old dog new tricks

Tell your momma your daddy done quit his drinkin'
Tell your momma your daddy done found the Lord
Tell your momma your daddy done quit his cussin' - his fightin' - his carryin' on
But don't you tell your momma goddamn your daddy's bored

Well I used to be sly
I'd stay out all night
And how I loved to fight
And make them young girls cry

Well I used to be crude
I was rude shrewd glued screwed tattooed
Down n dirty with a just plain surly attitude

'Till I met your momma
She pulled me outta that terrible fix
Well I know daddy's been away awhile
Cause it's been hard to teach an old dog new tricks

Well if a thousand times I seen the light
You know that I've gone blind a thousand times again
And if a thousand times I said ""I do""
You know I turned my tail a thousand-one again
I didn't mean no harm I's just havin' fun again

Tell your momma your daddy done quit his drinkin'
Tell your momma your daddy done found the Lord
Tell your momma your daddy done quit his cussin' - his fightin' - his carryin' on
But don't you tell your momma no
Don't you tell your momma oh no
Don't you tell your momma goddamn your daddy's bored
