When I was born, the doc he held me by
my ankles
Smacked my red behind
They hosed me down, wrapped me like a
bean burrito
Then marked the date and time
Hats off, to the ones that string the beads
together
And keep the ducks in line
Hats off to all the ones that stood before
me
And taught a fool to rhyme
At thirteen, I made myself a motion picture
Out of lumps of clay
At fourteen, I pulled some weeds and
bought a four string
Taught myself to play
At seventeen, I'd get naked with a beauty
queen
At the Hot Tub Zone
At nineteen, she was livin' hard and snortin'
drugs
That decayed her bones
Hats off to the ones that put it all together
And keep their ducks in line
Hats off to all the ones that erred before
me
And taught me how to survive

I hate it when cloggers ask dumb questions on here who don't know how to find ridiculously easy information themselves with a search engine
Simple. He's giving a very breif story of his life. He telling how people have messed up and how he learns from others mistakes and can live knowing what has happened before him.

I hate it when people post the same thing twice. And I haven't heard it, what album is it on?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't his current wife also his girlfriend since they're 17 (as far as I remember). Or are those 2 different persons, his current wife and the drug anorting female he's talking about
