Proud of Me

When I was a young boy
My parents told me son
There's always a man upstairs
That keeps track of the things you've done
They taught me how to live right
And put me on the right path
For me to live the perfect life
And sheltered from the bad

I got my first taste of sin
When I was twelve years old
That silver can they handed me
The first sip oh so cold
It made my head dizzy
And my ears start to pound
But the devil said keep on drinking son
As I chugged it down

But I was just a wild child
Who ran so far from home
The devil took me to that place
And I stayed there on my own
So far from my upbringing
And who I'm supposed to be
But don't you worry mom someday you'll see
I'm gonna make you proud of me

I got to see how life was
On the other side of the tracks
I hit the ground running
And never looked back
I've hurt my friends along the way
And let many people down
And now that I am older
I'm not very proud

But I am still that wild child
Who ran so far from home
The devil brought me to this place
And I stayed here on my own
So far from my upbringing
And who I'm supposed to be
But don't you worry mom someday you'll see
I'm gonna make you proud of me

I'm gonna make you proud of me
Oh mom someday you'll see
I'm gonna make you proud of me
Yeah yeah
