I Remember When

I remember when I saw the sea freeze But it said nothing about the birds and the bees They were swarming around my head You'll be better off dead But I ain't going down like that I ain't going down like that 'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been You know where god I'm bound And I'm higher to sin, but don't we all sin? If that is the truth, then the truth is grim Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale Your father has died while he's gripped for bail He points to the west and he leaves out the rest And wants you to be his special guest Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I remember when I saw the leaves fall I was in the woods, in a gown you wouldn't wear to the ball Into the ditch I fly Wanted dead or alive But I ain't going down like that No, I ain't going down like that 'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been You know where god I'm bound And I'm higher to sin, but don't we all sin? If that is the truth, then the truth is grim Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale Your father has died while he's gripped for bail He points to the west and he leaves out the rest And wants you to be his special guest Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh High, high, high, high High, high, high, high 'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been You know where god I'm bound And I'm higher to sin, but don't we all sin? If that is the truth, then the truth is grim And stop!
