I was young, just a skinny little son of a gun.

I craved adventure so I jumped into a car. To follow a star.

verse 2:
I got high, one night I broke into the local bowling green.
I could have sworn it was a giant trampoline, how obscene.
Like bowling greens, love trampolines.
I fell in love. With this pretty little pretty little girl.
'Cause her sister was a woman of the world. Ah what a girl.
I got a blister on my mister but I swear I didn't kiss her.
All the stupid little things that I have done.
Well I did 'em, I did 'em just for fun, fun, fun.
But all the stupid little things that we all do. (woo-hoo)
So many things that make us laugh and cry, whip my ass and run, run, run.
