Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll

This life comes with repercussions
Too many questions with answers lost
And I pray it wasn't all for nothing
And my return is worth the cost
And I've left some hearts in ruin
By-product of livin' this way
The bright lights of Music City
Callin' me in and demand I stay
And I left behind a life of reason
For reasons that I can't say
But they reached inside and took hold
And I traded it all
For sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
My momma don't sing my praises
Thinks I curse the family name
But, Momma, hear my cry this one time
Your baby didn't mean you pain
And there's a girl that I miss in the morning
Hungover and all alone
She knows she was always second
To mistress music and a country song
And I left behind a life of reason
For reasons that I can't say
But they reached inside and took hold
And I traded it all
For sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
And I left behind a life of reason
For reasons that I can't say
But they reached inside and took hold
And I traded it all
For sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Girl, I traded it all
For sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
