should have walked from cocoa beach
to new york city
become an andy warhol superstar
i might have been a big kahuna off the beaches
instead of another drunkard at the bar
instead of playing pinball in the pool rooms
i should have married and had a child
instead im flying like a wounded bird
no longer bustin free and running wild
i never should have exorcised my father
never should have set those demons free
i never should have tried to bring that bum to jesus
and i never should have dosed my mother with LSD
had i fled to canada
i wouldnt have got strung out
on heroin in vietnam
with a rag stuffed up my snout
i should have left america
and joined the human race
i should have signed those contracts
instead of spitting in their face
ive got a borderline personality
and post traumatic stress
the world has got in in for me
and i cant get any rest
everything i did
in my short life was wrong
i was drunk with billy carter
when ronald reagan came along
