Tried It All Too Soon

Daddy's drink-
It never did me right
It was too slow
To bring the devil out of hiding
Mother's words were softer than a feather
But no amount of 'em could ever
Get me flying

Don't tell me that
I tried it all too soon
'Cause in the middle of the day
I saw the moon

Size can't keep a boy
From off the bar
Lies couldn't keep my mind
Off of the jar
I'd steal an elevated car
To find a new set of stars

Early on I grew unafraid of the spank
The rules were for the fools
Who would get caught
Too young to be allowed
To be thrown in the tank-
My fear was shot
By my freedom of thought

Don't tell me that
I tried it all too soon
'Cause in the middle of the day
I saw the moon

Size can't keep a boy
From off the bar
Lies couldn't keep my mind
Off of the jar
I'd steal an elevated car
To find a new set of stars
