[Verse 1] She's a good girl Loves her mama Sings in the car On the way to work Keeps every card In a shoebox under her bed Prays for the rain On the fields out back [Chorus] I'm a bad boy Burning up the back roads Driving past the house Where I used to sleep She's a good girl Building up a small life I'm a bad boy Too scared to dream that deep [Verse 2] It's a long day Out on Ventura Coffee gone cold On the old porch swing There's a dog next door Howling at the airplanes There's a man like me Who can't feel a thing [Chorus] I'm a bad boy Burning up the back roads Driving past the house Where I used to sleep She's a good girl Building up a small life I'm a bad boy Too scared to dream that deep [Bridge] Her porch light stays on For somebody new My taillights fade In the rear-view blue If being broken Means I lose her too Guess I'm the bad boy That made it true [Chorus] I'm a bad boy Burning up the back roads Driving past the house Where I used to sleep She's a good girl Laughing in the kitchen I'm a bad boy Who only runs and leaves
