lyrics

VERSE 1

I GREW UP IN THE SIXTIES BY HIGH SCHOOL I WAS HIGH
FIGURED I WOULD JUST GET DRAFTED GO TO VIET NAM AND DIE
SO I NEVER SPENT ONE MINUTE THINKING ‘BOUT CAREERS OR SCHOOLS
I JUST LEARNED TO PLAY GUITAR AND BREAK THE RULES
I MARRIED UP AT TWENTY TO AN EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD
I WAS CRAZY COOL AND COCKY AND SHE WAS JUST PLAIN WILD
AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDN’T LAST BUT I’D MADE UP MY MIND
NO I NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE AT THE TIME

CHORUS

I CHOSE WOMEN WEED AND WHISKEY OVER WISE HARD WORKIN’ WAYS
I CHOSE PLAYIN’ WITH MY BAND LONGER NIGHTS FOR SHORTER DAYS
AND THERE’S SOME WILL SAY I’M CRAZY FOR NOT SEEIN’ I WAS BLIND
BUT I NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE AT THE TIME

VERSE 2

I TURNED DOWN A JOB AT CORPORATE JUST TO SPEND MORE TIME AT HOME
ENDED UP WORKIN THREE JOBS AND LIVIN ALL ALONE
I NEARLY CHASED THAT MIGHTY DOLLAR TO THE POINT IT WAS A CRIME
BUT I NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE AT THE TIME

CHORUS

I CHOSE WOMEN WEED AND WHISKEY OVER WISE HARD WORKIN’ WAYS
I CHOSE TIME SPENT WITH MY FAMILY PUSHED MY DREAMS TO LATER DAYS
AND THERE’S SOME WILL SAY I PIISED AWAY THE TALENTS THAT WERE MINE
BUT I NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE AT THE TIME

VERSE 3

WELL I WAS NEARLY THIRTY-FIVE WHEN I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL
COMPETING WITH THOSE YOUNGER AND FEELING LIKE A FOOL
BUT I ENDED UP A TEACHER SO I GUESS I DID JUST FINE
NO I NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE AT THE TIME
AND NOW I’M CROWDING SIXTY STILL PLAYING IN THE BAND
I’VE GOT TWO GROWN KIDS THAT LOVE A FINE WOMAN HOLDS MY HAND
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW I GOT HERE BUT LOOKIN’ BACK I FIND
THAT I NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE AT THE TIME

CHORUS (CH 1)

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG

AND I’LL PROBABLY DIE A PAUPER HOLDIN’ ON TO MY LAST DIME
BUT I NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE
NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE
NO I NEVER MADE A BAD CHOICE AT THE TIME…..
