Bending The Rules And Breaking The Law Lyrics - Brantley Gilbert

1 Growing up I was always mama's angel

2 Never thought I'd ever fall from grace

3 I was taught to walk for God and run from trouble

4 But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways

5 Yeah, I was proud to be in the bad news crowd

6 The one my mama warned me about

7 The closest thing to hell she's ever raised

8 But when I look back on those days

9 I knew I'd never change a thing

10 I made mistakes that paved the way

11 For the man I am today

12 I'm proud of 'em all and I had a ball

13 Bending the rules and breaking the law

14 We were bad about sneaking out and shooting road signs

15 Throwing eggs and rolling every yard in town

16 Yeah, my claim to fame was a babe, Ruth swing on a mailbox

17 Yeah, the police just loved driving me around

18 'Cause I was proud to be in the bad news crowd

19 The one my mama warned me about

20 The closest thing to hell she ever raised

21 But when I look back on those days

22 I knew I'd never change a thing

23 I made mistakes that paved the way

24 For the man I am today

25 I'm proud of 'em all and I had a ball

26 Bending the rules and breaking the law

27 And you learn to walk the way you talk

28 The D-U-I means S-O-L, respect was earned

29 You live and learn to pray, yeah, yeah

30 You learn to pray

31 Yeah, we were proud to be in the bad news crowd

32 The one our mamas warned us about

33 The closest thing to hell they'd ever raised

34 But when I look back on those days

35 I knew we'd never change a thing

36 Made mistakes that paved the way

37 For the men we are today

38 I'm proud of 'em all, yeah, and we had a ball

39 Bending the rules and breaking the law

40 Yeah, I was bending the rules and breaking the law
