Lyrics

Gonna Mess Up – K Aviss original

When I was a young boy and I thought I knew it all
Did some things back then they made me feel tall
But thinking back on it now I really knew nothin’ at all
Yeah made some back choices Well that’s for sure
Didn’t listen to my parents Thought I had it all figured out
Now that I’m older, much older I still don’t know it all no I don’t

Yeah your gonna mess up that’s just part of growing up
We’re all the same you know a little (to) head strong
Yeah your gonna mess up Well that’s for sure, gonna mess (it)up!

When I was a younger man I got me an electric guitar
Listened to my brothers LP’s yeah I wanted to be a rock n’ roll star
Thought maybe a girl would wanna come along for a ride in my car
But you know, you know I really, really - - - wrong
So I wrote me a - - a real sad song
Now that I’m older, much older I believe I’m comin’ along
yeah I hope I’m comin’ along

Chorus:

Well now I’ve had my I’ve had my ups and my downs
Just like so many other folks I guess that’s just how it goes
If I could go back perhaps I could change me some
But you know, you know that ain’t how things work
Even the best of us well sometimes we just act like jerks
Yeah you know man we all got our quirks we sure do

Chorus: Solo: “gonna get a little messy” ad lib

Well now children it’s a - - - long ride
You are all gonna make mistakes that you just can’t hide
Try to learn from them and maybe make some amends
If you listen to those folks on the other side
They were once there just like you are now
So give that some thought and maybe they can show you how
They might be able to tell you something
Chorus: ad lib ending
