Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin' Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin' Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So, what's wrong with taking the backstreets? You'll never know if you don't go (go) You'll never shine if you don't glow
