I grew up in basements and garages my grandma had to work two jobs Some people said that I was garbage but I never begged and I never robbed It took a long time for me to learn what Grandma used to say You pay your own bills boy you can live your life your own way Dress well! Drink Heavily! There’s not much time left for drunken revelry Dress well! Drink Heavily! We’re younger now than we’re ever gonna be There’s still sunrises out there for us to see Why don’t we just go and get loaded? Had my fair share of hard times Had a hard time making friends Sometimes I felt like I was a square peg in a round world I just never fit in Well, It took a long time for me to finally find my way and now I see the truth is good times are just a beer away Chorus Years have passed and Grandma’s gone now but she’s still always on my mind She taught me that a man should work hard She also taught me to have a real good time It took a long time for me to learn what Grandma used to say Make the best of what you’ve got boy let those dice tumble how they may

I used to be the kind to wait Always sitting on my hands I never saw the field of play I just sat up in the stands I used to be a little boy I used to play with little girls Now I've got much better toys and I'm living in the grown up world I don't like girls I like women and I'm not thirsty So who are we kidding? I wanna stop talking I wanna start sinning I don't like girls I like women I used to know a little girl I loved the way she'd sing I put her on a pedestal I was saving for a diamond ring I used to want to hold her hand I used to want to kiss her mouth I never said a single thing One day her family moved down south Chorus I've bought you a couple of drinks You've bought me a couple, too Your Fred Perry was pink My Ben Sherman was blue I asked if you wanted to dance You blushed when you said, "I Do" Let's give love one more chance Let's do what grown folks love to do

Fresh new hair cut, crisp new jeans Jet black polo, yeah I'm looking clean you say my spending is obscene I say I’m living a subculture dream I’m a Fred Perry Fanatic, baby and I don’t care who knows I earned every dollar that I ever had so I spend what I want on clothes People say we all dress the same But take a closer look I’m doing my own thing They don’t get tradition and that’s a shame I don’t give a damn about trends or fame chorus I rock the laurel wreath from my head to my shoes Snow white polo and the piping is blue There’s more to life than fashion, yeah that’s true But I make sure I look good no matter what I do chorus
