When I was young

Sometimes I'd be a bad boy

My pop would sit me down

He'd put his belt back on tight

He'd say apologize to your sister

Treat the women right

And I'd say mm-hmm

And he'd give me that look

And I'd say yes sir.

Well that happened many more times

Due to various reasons

They said I was a colourful boy.

I didn't play ball

So I couldn't get the chicks

Until I picked up a guitar

And learned a couple licks

And it went...

Well it didn't sound exactly like that

But anyhow, you get the picture.

But I found my focus

And I found my steam

For the rest of my life

I'm gonna fight for this dream you know.

This time I'm going all the way

This time I'm going all the way.

And after that everything changed

I got what I wanted but my hunger

Stayed the same.

Now that I'm older

I've still got to learn things twice

When we first met

You were looking for a man

I was acting like a boy

And you gave me the hand

And you said mm-hmm

But I was so used to getting what I wanted

Mm-hmm...

Well that happened many more times

Due to various reasons

Usually whiskey.

But you gave me another chance

And this time it's good

I'm so down for romance

And treating you like I should

And you say... baby, baby

Well you don't exactly say that

But anyhow, you get the picture.

But we got our focus and we got our steam

For the rest of our lives

We're gonna fight for this dream you know.

This time we're going all the way

This time we're going all the way.

So if you get it wrong, go back and do it right

Find out what you love, and hold on to it tight.

This time we're going all the way

This time we're going all the way.
