5 poor choices
All lined up in a row
Just like a line of ugly ducklings
That I cooked up and smoked
Now who better off to snort em' up
Now who's gonna know
Besides the witnesses
The states attorney's tape that he shows
Does not begin to show the facts
Or even let me explain
See I'd been up for 7 days
When they conducted their raid
And running just seemed like the natural thing
My feet wanted to do
I did not think of a plan
I did not think this thing through
Note to editor
Note to self
Note to anyone I've wronged
Note to everyone else
Note to editor
Note to self
Note to anyone I've wronged
Note to everyone else
I found myself inside a cruiser
That was parked in my lawn
I turned the keys, I hit the gas
And just like that I was gone
Where I was going, what I'm doing
I did not have a clue
It's like I told you once before
I did not think this thing through
And in the chaos of the moment
I could not really see
What with the flashin', and the yellin'
All the shootin' at me
I took a corner through a yard
Clipped a fence and got loose
Broke my jaw, crushed a kid
And that's the God's honest truth
5 bad decisions
Should not define a man
Don't ask the state
They do not know who I am
It's just that, that evening
Things got outta hand
5 bad decisions
Should not define a man
I said 5 bad decisions
I said 5 bad decisions
Two, three, four
5 bad decisions
I said 5 bad decisions
Should not define a man
I should be on the outside
Cookin' crystal meth
It always goes so fast
And there's hardly any left
There's hardly any left now
