Most Likely to Succeed

Dragged myself out of that dark drinkin' place
A cop led me home with disgust on his face
On my floor I saw somethin' that filled me with shame
It was my high school year book, with these words neath my name
That read
Most likely to succeed
That's what it said in my year book from high school
From high school
Most likely to succeed
Sure made me feel like a darn fool
A darn fool
There on those pages were all of my good friends
And the little kids that I once knew so well
They didn't know as they wrote me those sweet words
That I was determined to go right to hell
They said
Most likely to succeed
That's what it said in my year book from high school
From high school
Most likely to succeed
Sure made me feel like a darn fool
A darn fool

Listen up
I met a demon right out of high school
He offered me somethin' and told me to come
I ran and I ran straight into a whirlpool
Right to the arms of that demon rum
He said
Most likely to succeed
That's what it said in my year book from high school
From high school
Most likely to succeed
Sure made me feel like a darn fool
A darn fool
Sweet words of love, surrounded the picture
Of the little girl, who would soon be his wife
He didn't know as he wrote me those sweet words
That I was determined to ruin his life
He Said
Most likely to succeed
That's what it said in my year book from high school
From high school
Most likely to succeed
Sure made me feel like a darn fool
A darn fool
Sure made me feel like a darn fool
A darn fool
Sure made me feel like a darn fool
A darn fool
Sure made me feel like a darn fool
