My Morning Jacket - Outta My System lyrics

rate me

Told me not to smoke drugs, but I wouldn't listen

Never thought I'd get caught and wind up in prison

Chalk it up to youth, but young age I ain't dissin'

I guess I just had to get it outta my system

Outta my system, outta my system

Oh lord I'd never do it now I know what I ain't missing

I'm glad I went and got it all outta my system

The lust of youth versus married security

I'm glad I'm here now, but just between you and me

I had to get it out and make the deals

And learn to know how it feels but that it ain't real

Outta my system, whoa outta my system

There's a way to have it all you know I ain't kidding

Some things I know I'll never get outta my system

If you don't live now you ain't even trying

And then you on your way to a mid-life crisis

Livin it out, any way you feel

You can feel it in your bones, but try to deny it

Wipe it off your face but your eyes won't hide it

You knew it all along, but never made it clear

They told me not to steal cars said I'd wind up in prison

Thought I knew it all, yeah I wouldn't listen

Chalk it up to young age, but youth I ain't dissin'

I guess I just had to get it outta my system

Outta my system, whoa outta my system

I'm glad I did it all, then I know what I ain't missing

Glad I went and got it all outta my system

I'm glad I did it all now I know what I ain't missing

Glad I went and got it all outta my system, oh

I'm glad I did it all now I know what I ain't missing

Glad I went and got it all outta my system, oh, oh, oh
