There`s a kid in my mind who says "Now have a good time"
And the man in my soul makes me behave.
So tell me which do I pick if I`m gonna get a kick,
If I`m gonna try to have a good time.
I got an angel and a devil looking over my back
and each one is ready to go.
There`s no such thing as a happy medium
if you have any plans to let go.
(chorus)
I`m gonna grow up fast in this world alone
and leave behind something to show.
All I need is my friends standing by me to the end
and the drugs are only gonna make me slow.
There`s a million different ways to have fun today
and I hope to God that I never try
crack cocaine or heroin in my vein
Because I`ll surely be the junkie runnin` dry.
But alcohol`s another story `cause I`ve really got a taste
and I`ve really had a good ol` time
at Montreal at the bars or driving in my car
from San Francisco all the way to Philadelphia
(chorus)
...I got a real close friend who told me something I won`t forget
"You`re gonna get the face you deserve."
So I`m gonna do my best to kill `em with kindness
So I can grow up to be good...
(chorus)
