Never Throw a Genade Simulator in the Bath Tub in a Rented Mobile Home
note: this is a true story
Now I’ve learned lots of lessons, & some I forget.
I’ve loved lots of women & some I regret.
I’ve seen lots of places I never wanna see again.
I’ve done lots of good things but mostly I’ve done sin.
I’ve told lots of stories and some of them were true.
I’ve done lots of thing that I knew I shouldn’t do.
I’ve played lots of games where I had to cheat to win.
I’ve done lots of good things but mostly I’ve done sin.
chorus:
One thing I’m certain I will never do again.
Threw a grenade simulator into the bathtub,
then I closed the door, there was the rub.
It blew the roof off & broke out all the glass.
The land lord saw that damage & just about kicked my ass.
I’ve been an Einstein, I’ve been dumb as a box of rocks.
I’ve been given a few keys but I’ve picked a bunch of locks.
I’ve finished some projects, but not as many as I begin.
I’ve done lots of good things but mostly I’ve done sin.
chorus:
I’ve planted some trees but I’ve scorched my share of earth.
Sometimes I love my life but mostly I regret my birth.
I’ve helped others but usually their misfortune makes me grin.
I’ve done lots of good things but mostly I’ve done sin.
I’ve had a few friends but I make legions of enemies.
I’ve done what’s right, but mostly I do as I please.
I’ve saved a life or two but I’ve killed a few more men
I’ve done lots of good things but mostly I’ve done sin.
