When I was young, I stayed out late Raising hell across the stateParents thought I might get caught I'd never last my teensMet some cops and had some scrapes Learned the ropes and made mistakesMy parents spared a lion's share of adolescent schemesI wasn't smart, but I wised up soon enough I got my start and got sized up soon enoughThe folly of my youth was through soon enough Experience and wisdom grew soon, soon, soonSoon enoughDefying them prepared me well Missed lots of school, but what the hellWhen trouble came, they knew me again Confronted me as oneFret about that boy of yours He goes to church and does his choresA little rough, but we've had enoughWe'll make him strong, your problem's not your sonHe isn't lost, he'll be gone soon enoughWho Daddy crossed would be your man soon enoughWithout the phone, he'll be back home soon enoughYou've got to learn, he shall return soonSoon, soon enoughI'm all dressed up, nowhere to goBut there's a lot that you don't knowWho let 40 turds out shortly, foolish all his lifeThere's more in life that you can loseYou ought to think you need to chooseThese things cascade, don't let loveYou've got to learn, he shall return soon enoughBaby, try cherishing your wifeShe's still at home, she'll be gone soon enoughCome back home, she'll be gone soon enoughShe'll come across, attached and strange soon enoughShe'll find the strength to make a change soonSoon, soon enoughI can't find my dear life's loveHer name just said from up aboveI miss her so, where did she go?How can you say I'm wrong?Clarity starts at home, you knowKeep love clear and it will growLet her come in, her affection's been ignoredFor way too longGod forbid you find the kid soon enoughDon't mean I need your love, might leave you soon enoughIt's a fact, I hope you'll act soon enoughWon't be polite, you'll see I'm right soonSoon, soon enoughSoon, soon enoughSoon, soon enoughSoon, soon enoughWhen I dive in, please push meSo don't you worry, there's nothing wrongWith her in my heart for youSo can't you greet herSo can't you greet herThank you.
