Wasted The Rest

Intro: Well, I was never one to back down from a fight, or run from a problem Of all those things the youngest boy could be, I was the wild one Mama did the best she could to try to raise me right, but I didn't listen I learned a lot of things in my life, I never learned my lesson I was chasin' my dreams and runnin' from my convictions Chasin' my tail getting all the attention Had all the potential, but lackin' in direction Chorus: I spent most of my money on things I didn't need I spent most of my youth strung out on whiskey and speed Spent most of my love on ladies of the night Spent most of my time out lookin' for a fight It's all said and done I guess I, I guess I must confess I just wasted the rest Me and the boys used to go down town, had nothin' to do and nowhere to go Small town boys with big ideas that we heard about on the radio And all I wanted was to live the life of those songs that they used to play Yeah, I want to rock and roll all night, and party every day One day in school I learned about protection One night in jail I learned about redemption Seems most of life had been, such a contradiction Repeat Chorus: Bridge: Can't say I'm proud of all my indiscretions Can't say I'm sorry for my lack of apprehension Man I had some good times, in case I didn't mention Chorus: I spent most of my money on things, I'll never need I spent most of my youth kinda strung out on the whiskey and speed I spent most of my love on those ladies of the night I spent most of my time out lookin' for a fight I guess you could say, I really put life to the test And I just wasted the rest I just wasted the rest Man, I wased the rest Lord, I wasted the rest
