1, 2, 3, 4When I was a boy years of 6 years or soWith my lunch box and my crayons to school I did goThe nuns they didnt like my free and foolish waysIt was their duty to tryand change my waysI recited the Our Father, the Apostles CreedWhen I got it wrong their rulers made my knuckles bleedCouldn't read or write, couldnt keep my own shoes tiedThey would start their preaching when I told them that I triedThe road to hell is paved with good intentionsYou won't see the pearly gates unless you change your waysYou can think about it while you're in detentionThe road to hell is paved with good intentionsWhen I was a lad of 15 years or so I was working painting houses for Mr. DonahoughI thought it was real grand to be earning my own keepBut when Donahough saw my work I swear it made him weepPaint was splattered everywhere that you could seeSo he kicked me in the arse and yelled for me to leaveI tried my best he said and he grabbed me by my scruffShook me while he screamed your best ain't nearly good enoughThe road to hell is paved with good intentionsSongtexteYou won't earn no money boy unless you change your waysPay your dues and than pay some attentionThe road to hell is paved with good intentionsI loved a pretty girl but I knew it wouldn't lastShe left me for another before a year had passedShe couldn't take my drinking and me stayin out too lateI told her I could change but she said it was too lateNow I've lived a rowdy life and I've lived it to the endAnd I'll die with no regrets of my time and money spentSo if you've got a minute, pay a visit to my graveLook upon the headstone and see there what it saysThe road to hell is paved with good intentionsI tried to live the good life but it just was not my fateMy failures are too numerous to mentionThe road to hell is paved with good intentionsThe road to hell is paved with good intentionsYou won't see the pearly gates unless you change your waysYou can think about it while you're in detentionThe road to hell is paved with good intentions Aus Songtexte Mania
