I spent the summer down south workin for the county tryna save for school |
|
I blew it all like a damn fool, on women and beer |
|
I didnt have the grades but i had myself a major league fast ball |
|
got a call from the minor leagues in Wichita and blew out my arm the first year |
|
Well I took a good look at my life decided I'd make a change |
|
i booked me a flight on an airplane, i was third world peace-core bound |
|
But i met me a stewardess waiting right there in the airport bar |
|
before i knew it i was in her car, and had her turned around |
|
well maybe im wreckless, maybe bad luck |
|
hell maybe im way too much about having fun |
|
I sent you a postcard, send me your love |
|
just dont give up on me yet im still growing up |
|
I went to work for my uncle on the coast at a club called the Hotspot |
|
We took our breaks on the boat docks, and i got fired for smoking pot |
|
with the beach right there i guess surfing was the logical next move |
|
but i got mouthy with the wrong dude, and got my damn jaw tattooed |
|
well maybe im wreckless, maybe bad luck |
|
hell maybe im way too much about having fun |
|
I sent you a postcard, send me your love |
|
just dont give up on me yet im still growing up |
|
I bought an old guitar with cash from a good hand of blackjack |
|
learned a few chords from a fat back, hairy man named pete |
|
i got a local gig on the weekends at some old honkey tonk |
|
singing two eyes and nothing but cash songs and i could always drink for free |
|
Some so called big wig producer man started sniffin round |
|
told me he liked my sound but there was something holding me back |
|
he said a rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat oughtta do the trick |
|
i told him i had something he could stick, way on up his ass |
|
well maybe im wreckless, maybe bad luck |
|
hell maybe im way too much about having fun |
|
I sent you a postcard, send me your love |
|
just dont give up on me yet im still growing up |
|
I sent you a postcard, send me your love |

|
