Started out in this world a boy with big dreams But my dream died early it surely seems Started thinking I wasn't going to amount to much Learned the feel of a bad woman's touch Started fighting for all I thought I would need I just wanted to make this world bleed Started running with the crazy crowd We really thought our big roar was so loud Fighting everyone who didn't see it just our way Thought we were the king's of our little piece of ground Met this woman who was said to be best around Fell in love with a good woman gone bad It was the best of time I felt I ever had Started moving up in my own little boys mind Thought I was the best of all of my kind Started to hate and take just whatever l thought I'd need Didn't mind if I had to go and make another man bleed Stealing cars I learned I liked them to be fast Didn't take long to see all this wouldn't last Started to see that they wouldn't let me go down without a fight Got in this car wanting to make things finally turn out right But it seems my good woman gone bad Didn't share the same feelings I had She turned and shouted for the help of the only friend I knew Came after me and a gun he drew I couldn't believe she left me high and dry Trying to make that car get up fly Tearing up the road trying to break free I had tried but I couldn't turn my life around Crying without a sound Was driving too fast to make a turn The car rolled over and started to burn Lost and broken by that fatal crash Laying beside me was all the stolen cash Then my good woman gone bad. Walked up with the best friend I ever had Smiled down at the sight of me Bloody body wanted to fight and get up tried Oh where can a young boy hide I knew I about die on that spot of ground She reached for the money saying look what I found You tried to take it all then you tried to run She pulled out this little hidden gun You tried to get away but you didn't get to very far My good woman gone bad Left with the best friend I ever had I felt the tear slip out and the light started to fade oh so fast I knew I was finally free at last I got away from the only life I ever knew A good women gone bad they could never be true I tried tried to smile but it just wasn't meant to be. But at least in the end I was was finally free Lost everything that I have ever known But in the end of life I was shown There never would be any time to make things right If it's only at the end that finally start to see the light
