[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
