Caps and Bottles

When I was thirteen, I bought a scally cap
Looked up to the older guys who drank at the rat
Couldn't wait to grow up and drink with the crew
Put my name on the map and have a social few
Wooh oh ohh
I recall when I was small I thought I'd be legend soon
But that was then and this is now a harder road cannot be found
Don't get me wrong, good times were had
Sometimes the fun outweighed the bad
But all in all, now said and done I can recall more bad than fun

(Chorus)
It's killing me
The answer's here, it's plain to see
It's taken me
I'm half the man I thought I'd be
It's killing me
It's taken years but now I see
I'm not the man I thought I'd be

I'd fight them all, big or small
Angel dust and Bud tall
Collars up and fists the same
Protect your friends and family name
Had my lumps, received a few but not near what I deserved
Some say this life's my punishment
Some say this life's my just deserves

(Chorus)
