  • They told me not to smoke drugs, but I wouldn't listen
    Never thought id get caught and wind up in prison
    Chalk it up to youth but young age I ain't dissin'
    I guess I just had to get it out of my system
    Outta my system, outta my system
    Oh lord I'd never do it now
    I know what I ain't missin'

    Glad I went and got it all out of my system
    The lust of youth versus marriage and security
    Im glad im here now, but just between you and me
    I had to get out and make the deals
    And learn to know how it feels but that it ain't real
    Outta my system, outta my system

    There's a way to have it all you know I ain't kidding
    Some things I know I'll never get out of my system
    If you don't live now, you ain't even tryin'
    And then you're on your way to a mid-life crisis
    Live it out, any way you feel
    You can feel it in your bones, but try to deny it
    Wipe it off your face but your eyes won't hide it
    You knew it all along, but never made it clear

    They told me not to steal cars, but I wouldn't listen
    Never thought I'd get caught and wind up in prison
    Chalk it up to young age- but youth I ain't dissin'
    I guess I just had to get it out of my system
    Outta my system, outta my system
    Oh lord I'd never do it now
    I know what I ain't missin'
    Glad I went and got it all out of my system Writer/s: Jim Edward Olliges Jr.
