Bad Boy, lyric by John Prine

from the songs album German Afternoons

I been a bad boy
I been long gone
I been out there
I never phone home
I never gave you not one little clue where i'd been
I've been a bad boy again.

I got a way of
Fallin' in love
With angels that don't shove
You into thinkin' that you are committing a sin
I've been a bad boy again.

I've been a bad boy again
Now i've been a bad boy again
And all the trouble that i'm in
Makes me a bad boy again
I've been a bad boy again
Now i've been a bad boy again
And all the trouble that i'm in
Makes me a bad boy again

I must have walked 'round
In a real fog
I was your best friend
Now i'm a real dog
I never thought that now
Would ever catch up with then
I've been a bad boy again.

I've been a bad boy
I sung a wrong song
I took a left turn
I stayed too long
As you were thinkin' that i wasn't
Just like all other men
I've been a bad boy again.

I've been a bad boy again
Now i've been a bad boy again
And all the trouble that i'm in
Makes me a bad boy again
I've been a bad boy again
Now i've been a bad boy again
And all the trouble that i'm in
Makes me a bad boy again
