How I Got To Be This Way

[Verse 1]

I rolled my daddy's truck off the Dixonville curve

after drinkin' my fifth beer.

And I played hoss trying to pay him off for most of my senior year.

I got my jaw jacked by a big ole boy for messing 'round

with his girlfriend.

But she was tall and tight and she kissed just right

but I'll never do that again.



[Chorus]

Yeaahhhh I've done some pretty stupid things but heyyy

I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter

That's how I got to be this way.



[Verse 2]

I've been kicked in the face by horse cause I ran up to fast behind him

And I shook hands on a deal with a man

just to find out that he was lying.

I've broken a couple good girls hearts cause I said I loved em

knowin' I couldn't

An I've given my heart to a woman who said she would stay

when I knew she wouldn't



[Chorus]

Yeeaaahhh I've done some pretty stupid things but heyyy

I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter

That's how I got to be this way.



[Refrain]

I've been bit I've been burned

But I've lived and I've learned from it

I've made some mistakes but that's what it takes

to make a man out of a kid



[Chorus]

Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but heyyy

I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter

That's how I got to be this way.

Heeyyyyy I've done some pretty stupid things but heyyy

I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter

That's how I got to be this way.
