Bad as Me<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/em><\/strong>You\u2019re the head on the spear
\nYou\u2019re the nail on the cross
\nYou\u2019re the fly in my beer
\nYou\u2019re the key that got lost
\nYou\u2019re the letter from Jesus on the bathroom wall
\nYou\u2019re mother superior in only a bra
\nYou\u2019re the same kind of bad as me<\/p>\n

I\u2019m the hat on the bed
\nI\u2019m the coffee instead
\nThe fish or cut bait
\nI\u2019m the detective up late
\nI\u2019m the blood on the floor
\nThe thunder and the roar
\nThe boat that won\u2019t sink
\nI just won\u2019t sleep a wink
\nYou\u2019re the same kind of bad as me<\/p>\n

No good you say
\nWell that\u2019s good enough for me<\/p>\n

You\u2019re the wreath that caught fire
\nYou\u2019re the preach to the choir
\nYou bite down on the sheet
\nBut your teeth have been wired
\nYou skid in the rain
\nYou\u2019re trying to shift
\nYou\u2019re grinding the gears
\nYou\u2019re trying to shift
\nAnd you\u2019re the same kind of bad as me<\/p>\n

They told me you were no good
\nI know you\u2019ll take care of all my needs
\nYou\u2019re the same kind of bad as me<\/p>\n

I\u2019m the mattress in the back
\nI\u2019m the old gunnysack
\nI\u2019m the one with the gun
\nMost likely to run
\nI\u2019m the car in the weeds
\nIf you cut me I\u2019ll bleed
\nYou\u2019re the same kind of bad as me
\nYou\u2019re the same kind of bad as me”<\/p>\n
