Bad Habits

Benny's got a horse in the second race
There's excitement written all over his face
A car payment's late, the rent is due
You can guess what he's gonna do
He'll go straight to the track, cause he's got those
Bad habits, messing up his life again
He's got those bad habits, ooh I remember when
He had a different frame of mind
And knew just where to draw the line
Between right and wrong, weak and strong

Jenny's always trying to reach a new high
The road she's taking one day
May take her straight to the sky
Cause she thinks white powder and yellow pills
Are all she needs to cure her ills
Will she wake up to late to find that her fate was a

Bad habit, messing up her life again
She's got those bad habits
Ooh I remember when she had a different frame of mind
And knew just where to draw the line
Between right and wrong, weak and strong

The things that you do that people may never see
Sometimes can turn into dependency
That extra cup of coffee, that one last piece of cake
That one drink for the road could be a big mistake

Just make up your mind about what you will do
You've got to break the habit before the habit breaks you
You don't have to face this thing alone
Go right ahead pick up the phone
Take a moment to share with one who's been there
And knows bad habits just mess up your life again
Check out those bad habits
Ooh I remember when you had a different frame of mind
And knew just where to draw the line
Between right and wrong, weak and strong

Bad habits, bad habits, bad habits, yeah
