Eat Dirt Lyrics

These are the right cords... I got them off her video
(it showed them so it wasn't a guessing game).
Capo- 3rd fret
-Verse 1-
Found a piece of candy on the floor
and I couldn't resist but taste it
Momma wanted to smack me
and that's when I made up my mind and I ate it
and I have to admit it
tasted better than the ones in the kitchen cupboard
-Verse 2-
Every night I'd look out the bedroom window and wonder what it's like to run away
Daddy told me he would hit me if I did it so I made up my mind and I ran away
and I have to admit it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be
-Chorus-
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
and with every lesson you get wiser (wiser)
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
and eat a little dirt sometimes
-Verse-
I found a book about mystical things but momma said it's against our religion
So late at night I'd read it anyways and that was the last time I asked for permission
and I have to admit that I don't regret telling her lies 'cause it opened my eyes
-Chorus-
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
and with every lesson you get wiser (wiser)
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
and eat a little dirt sometimes
-Bridge-
I won't let my years go to waste living in a cage
this prodigal child will always stray
I got over the stomach ache
wiped the mud off my face 'cause this world belongs to the brave
-Chorus-
What doesn't kill you makes you sick
and if you're sick you learned a lesson
and with every lesson you get wiser (wiser)
So I figure that it pays to cross the line
and eat a little dirt sometimes ('cause this world belongs to the brave)
and eat a little dirt sometimes ('cause this world belongs to the brave)
and eat a little dirt sometimes
-Ending verse-
Found a piece of candy on the floor
