Lyrics
Verse 1
Black boots, big mouth, swagger sharp like steel
I crashed the county fair — for the thrill, for the pie
Kicked the tin bucket boss, took six for a spin
Single fist knocked the jukebox wild
Pockets flickin' coins, slappin’ skin
Stole a preacher’s hat
My kind of crown
Broke a tooth on tough talk, just grinned it down
Chorus
Ain’t never turned away a dare
Ain’t never broken, bent or scared
Cussed out any judge I ever seen
That’s just how I always been
Post-Chorus
Bad as I wanna
Bad as I wanna
I just keep rollin'
Bad as I wanna
Verse 2
Mama called me barrel-chested, quick with a grin
Run the dive bar dry, then I drink again
Lit the neighbor’s fence ablaze just for a bet
Heard their howling — I ain't looked back yet
Tossed the mayor’s hat out the midnight train
Chased the dogcatcher twice, 'cause I can’t be chained
Ain’t a rule I won’t rewrite
Or a threat I won’t ignite
Chorus
Ain’t never turned away a dare
Ain’t never broken, bent or scared
Spit my name on every wall and sign
I call it living, say it’s mine
Post-Chorus
Bad as I wanna
Bad as I wanna
Keep me wild, keep me mean
Bad as I wanna
Bridge
Three fast fists, it’s my introduction
Ten tall tales, never ask permission
Always win, and I claim the prize
Trouble finds me with those wildcat eyes
Trouble finds me every night
Verse 3
Trampled neighbor’s flower beds — looks better that way
Borrowed tires from the sheriff’s Ford
Flipped a coin, kept the cash, walked out free
If you call that crooked, then you just envy me
Stacked up debts where my head should rest
Time to hit the next bend, leave the mess
Chorus
Ain’t never turned away a dare
Ain’t never broken, bent or scared
Wrote my story on a lonesome wind
That’s the creed I’m livin’ in
Post-Chorus
Bad as I wanna
Bad as I wanna
Not sorry, won't atone
Bad as I wanna
Outro
Yeah, bad as I wanna
Just bad as I wanna
Catch me gone
Gone
Bad as I wanna
