Bad Boys

And Broken Hearts

Bad Boys

A country girl learns early how to strike the match

light their cigarettes and change a flat

They get their motors running fast, without a catch

say what on their minds, don't care who's mad

A city girl likes dressin' up and goin' out

find a boy to get them what they need

Anything they want can come with just a pout

satisfaction coming, guaranteed

But it don't really matter where you come from

tattoos and broken hearts all heal the same

The early bird will leave a worm for bread crumbs

and bad boys give the good ones all bad names
