Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll

This life comes with repercussions

Too many questions with answers lost

And I pray it wasn't all for nothing

And my return is worth the cost

And I've left some hearts in ruin

By-product of livin' this way

The bright lights of Music City

Callin' me in and demand I stay

And I left behind a life of reason

For reasons that I can't say

But they reached inside and took hold

And I traded it all

For sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll

My momma don't sing my praises

Thinks I curse the family name

But, Momma, hear my cry this one time

Your baby didn't mean you pain

And there's a girl that I miss in the morning

Hungover and all alone

She knows she was always second

To mistress music and a country song

And I left behind a life of reason

For reasons that I can't say

But they reached inside and took hold

And I traded it all

For sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll

And I left behind a life of reason

For reasons that I can't say

But they reached inside and took hold

And I traded it all

For sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll

Girl, I traded it all

For sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
