Hell! I Been Around!

Lyrics:

I could lay on stories
I could reveal lies
I could name every woman I loved and some that I despised
I'm just happy go lucky
So don't try to bring me down
How can I be the way that I am...
I say "Hell! I've been around!"

I'd no claim to disco
I never hepped acid rock
I didn't bookworm my way through school
I didn't pass for Joe Jock
But you could find me driving 135 Friday Nights

on the North side of town
How could I ask like a crazy fool
I say "Hell! I've been around!"

Bridge
Breaking hearts on doorsteps
Her girlfriends whisper lies
But when you ask THEM out
they'll stab HER back
it should come as no surprise

You pledge you love forever
You hope your love will last
But you'll forget her {in a college term} (alternative: with a shot of Jack)
Now you two just smile when you pass

I've learned it all the hard way
But I am happy with what I have found
How can I say the things that I do
Well "Hell! I've been around!"

Bridge
You'll remember the good times
Even the hour, date and day
But the only one you'll ever scorn is the one that got away

I could lay on stories
I could reveal lies
I could name every woman I loved and some that I despised
I'm just happy go lucky
So don't try to bring me down
How can I be the way that I am...
I say "Hell! I've been around!"
