lyrics

HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT

i’m a high school drop out
n I’m living the dream
i ain’t gonna die in a hospital
gonna die on the street
i’m a high school drop out
n I’m living the dream
i’m a high school drop out
i ain’t no beauty queen

in any town
in any city
there’s a bar
where i belong
there’s a fire
in a snow bank
w/ jes’ enough heart
t keep me warm

i’m a high school drop out
n I’m living the dream
i ain’t gonna die in a hospital
gonna die on the street
i’m a high school drop out
n I’m living the dream
i’m a high school drop out
i ain’t no beauty queen

i got plans
n i got work
n i got friends
i believe in
n jes’ the other day
i threw a cherry bomb
in a pond
ya should o seen it!

when the darkness
becomes me
that’s when i smile
n all the ladies
walking’ by me
they stop
for awhile
