Текст песни Live Well - Barenaked Ladies

Look back at my childhood, what was he thinkin′?
Scrapbook highlights of smokin', drivin′ and drinkin'
Packed with pets and games in the back of a wagon
Some white trash nonsense, not to sound like I'm braggin′
′Cause I'm alive
Doesn′t mean I lived well
Just means I got back up every time that I fell
I've got the scrapes
The cuts and bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You′re a fool if you choose this
With some distance memories get a bit clearer
Watching licenses lost in a rearview mirror
Guess we held ourselves to a different standard
To lose your keys those days, you had to be hammered
'Cause I′m alive
Doesn't mean I lived well
Means I got back up every time that I fell
I got the scrapes
The cuts and bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You're a fool if you choose this
And I recognize I′ve done fine
Yeah, I realize I′ve got mine
There must be better ways to make men
Than the nonsense we did back then
'Cause I′m alive
Doesn't mean I lived well
Just means I got back up every time that I fell
I got the scrapes
The cuts and the bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You′re a fool if you choose this
