Before I Knew

These are the things, I used to do, Thats before I knew, What I was doing was coming to. I'd run with the boys, Through the fields of pain, Chasin white balls, Slowly going insane. I was reaching new heights in my game of life, By playing the hands, The're not to fold, By breaking the rules I was told, An' reading the dice as they were rolled. These are the things I used to do, Before I knew, What I was doin was comin to. I'd sit at the end of my driveways end, I would, Smoke a cigerette, I would, Stare at the stars An wish for things I could never get. These are the things I used to do, Before I knew, What I was doin was coming to. These are the things I used to do, Before I knew
