Tall Tales Lyrics

I was just a wild little piece of shit
Lord, how I gave my parents' fist
Tried so hard to raise me right
But I was born to run the night

Daddy took me hunting when I was a kid
Wouldn't believe what the hell I did
He said, "Boy, hold this gun"
Told my cousin, "You better run"
Last time he pulled for me
Got my ass whooped with a tree

Wild-ass son of a gun
Paid for all I'd done
Swear they'll get upset
'Cause I ain't done just yet

Had a few drinks and went for a drive
Blue lights lit up my brown eyes
I just tried to play it cool
The cops said, "Boy, you're just a fool"
Cuffed and stuffed me in the trunk
Next time I won't get so drunk

Wild-ass son of a gun
Paid for all I'd done
Swear they'll get upset
'Cause I ain't done just yet

Had a load of fun on my parents' couch
Tried to figure out what love's about
Mom came bustin' through that door
Wasn't makin' love no more
Kicked that girl out in the street
Next time I'll be more discreet

Wild-ass son of a gun
Paid for all I'd done
Swear they'll get upset
'Cause I ain't done just yet
