Hell Bent & Happy – Earl Musick – letras

Back in my younger daysI was just a kid that’s what they saidI worked the night shift all dayI had a paper route and burglar toolsI was pretty dumb but I was nobody’s foolI sported ducktails and I smoked KoolsI drank my supper from a Dixie cupGrowing up was just a matter of luckAnd I wished that I knew now what I knew thenI was hell bent and happyJust sliding up hillI should have gone to jailFor all the times I killedI was hell bent and happyJust spitting in the windAnd I may never come this was againGrew up on a dead end streetMy education was incompleteI wore overall’s and went bare feetI pitched quarters and played forty-twoWord around town I was known as a dudeI picked guitar and sang the blues.
