Brantley Gilbert - Bending the Rules and Breaking the Law lyrics

rate me

Growing up I was always mama’s angel

Never thought I’d ever fall from grace

I was taught to walk with God and run from trouble

But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways

I was proud to be in the bad news crowd

The one my mama warned me about

The closest thing to hell she’s ever raised

But when I look back on those days I knew I’d never change a thing

I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today

I'm proud of them all and I had a ball bending the rules and breaking the law

We were bad about sneaking out and shooting road signs

Throwing eggs and rollin every yard in town

Yeah my claim to fame was a Babe Ruth swing on a mailbox

Yeah the police just loved driving me around

Cause I was proud to be in the bad news crowd

The one my mama warned me about

The closest thing to hell she’d ever raised

But when I look back on those days I knew I’d never change a thing

I made mistakes that paved the way for the man I am today

I'm proud of them all and I had a ball bending the rules and breaking the law

Yeah you learn to walk the way you talk

That DUI means SOL

Respect is earned

You live and learn and pray

You learn to pray

Yeah, we were proud to be in the bad news crowd

The one our mamas warned us about

The closest thing to hell they ever raised

But when I look back on those days I know* we’d never change a thing

made mistakes that paved the way for the men we are today

I'm proud of them all yall* and we had a ball

Bending the rules and breaking the law
