Bad As Bad Can Be

Bad As Bad Can Be

I was born without a place called home
I cut my teeth on daddy's lies
He was mean and rotten to the bone
Now I know the world through his cold eyes

Now as far as I can see
I'm as bad as bad can be
Face to face with me
I'm as bad as bad can be

I learned I had to be as tough as nails
On the wrong side of the tracks
Got my schooling in and out of jail
Lord, I swear I'm never going back

Now as far as I can see
I'm as bad as bad can be
Face to face with me
I'm as bad as bad can be

I don't care what anybody says
It don't matter much to me
No regrets about the things I've done
What you get is what you see
I'm as bad as bad can be

I could chew you up and spit you out
And never lose a moment's sleep
I will make you pay without a doubt
You can bet I always play for keeps

Now as far as I can see
I'm as bad as bad can be
Face to face with me
I'm as bad as bad can be
