[Drum intro]



I was born my mother's son

When I hit the ground I was on the run

All my life I've played the fool

I've been breaking hearts and breaking rules...



[Chorus]

I can't change my evil ways

You can't change my evil ways

No matter what the Good Book says

I can't change my evil ways no more,

No more, evil ways... my evil ways



I've been accused of hit and run

But all the same I have my fun

Don't turn your back when I'm with you

Cuz I'll steal your chickens and your sister too



[Chorus]

I can't change my evil ways

You can't change my evil ways

No matter what the Good Book says

I can't change my evil ways no more,

No more, evil ways... my evil ways



[Instrumental-guitar solo]



[Scream] yeah!



I was born my mother's son

Since I could crawl I been having fun

Now I've been poor and I've been rich

But I've always been a son-of-a-bitch



[Chorus]

I can't change my evil ways

You can't change my evil ways

No matter what the Good Book says

I can't change my evil ways no more,

No more, evil ways... my evil ways

My evil ways

Evil ways

Evil ways
