Lyrics:

I rolled my Daddy's truck off the Dicksonville curve
After drinkin' my fifth beer
And I fed hogs tryin' to pay him off
For most of my senior year

I got my jaw jacked by a big ol' boy
For messing 'round with his girlfriend
She was tall and tight and she kissed just right
But I'll never do that again

Chorus
Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A whole lot smarter
That's how I got to be this way

I've been kicked in the face by a horse
Cause I ran up too fast behind him
And I shook hands on a deal with a man
And found out he was lyin'

I've broken a couple of good girl's hearts
Cause I've said I loved 'em knowin' I couldn't
And I've given my heart to a woman
Who said she'd stay when I knew she wouldn't

Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A whole lot smarter
That's how I got to be this way

I've been bit I've been burned but I've lived and I've learned from it
I've made some mistakes but that's what it takes
To make a man out of a kid

Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A whole lot smarter
That's how I got to be this way

Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A whole lot smarter
That's how I got to be this way

That's how I got to be this
How I got to be this
How I got to be this way
