LYRICS:
Remember little Michael, that loser down the road
We used to steal his vinyl, only 12 years old
We didn’t have no money, we didn’t work a day
we were never lucky, so we chose the outlaw’s way

Remember crazy Shirley, she lived down the block
Her hair all long and curly, she knew how to rock
she took me to the wild side, I learned a thing or two
when I got home at midnight: hey son, where were you!

(save your soul) I ain’t no sinner
(you’re out of control) I ain’t no saint
Ain’t gonna tell it to the preacher
(wash your sins) I ain’t no devil
(a new road begins) I ain’t no angel
Ain’t gonna tell it to the preacher, no, no, no

Looking for some action, poised to make some noise
But the only real distraction was brawling’ with the boys
they threw me in the slammer, when I lost another fight
the judge lay down his hammer, I had to spend the night

(save your soul) I ain’t no sinner
(you’re out of control) I ain’t no saint
Ain’t gonna tell it to the preacher
(wash your sins) I ain’t no devil
(a new road begins) I ain’t no angel
Ain’t gonna tell it to the preacher, no, no, no

Now I’m an older soul, I’m doing as I’m told
I finally understand that I have to fit the mould
But when I’m feeling bad, I go out on the town
I hang out with the lads, and throw some whiskey down

(save your soul) I ain’t no sinner
(you’re out of control) I ain’t no saint
Ain’t gonna tell it to the preacher
(wash your sins) I ain’t no devil
(a new road begins) I ain’t no angel
Ain’t gonna tell it to the preacher, no, no, no
