When I was 16 I knew everything
Opportunity grew on trees
I taste 'em, waste 'em
And do it all again

10 feet tall, invincible
I fell short on principle
rebellion, a hellion
Yeah, that was me back then

Burned by my mistakes
phoenix, I rose from the flames

Now I'm doin' it right, I saw the light
Sun came up in the middle of the night
Been doin' it wrong for so long
I sure oughta know what it finally feels like to be
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, a doin' it right

When this fool came tumblin' down
180 degree turn around
Revelation, salvation
Made me what I am

Every day I fight the war
And each day I'm winnin' more, yeah

'Cause I'm doin' it right, I saw the light
Sun came up in the middle of the night
Been doin' it wrong for so long
I sure oughta know what it finally feels like to be
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, a doin' it right

Every now and then I'm tempted
I don't jump the fences, no

I keep doin' it right, I saw the light
Sun came up in the middle of the night
Been doin' it wrong for so long
I sure oughta know what it finally feels like to be
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, a doin' it

Doin' it right, I saw the light
Sun came up in the middle of the night
Been doin' it wrong for so long
I sure oughta know what it finally feels like
I sure oughta know what it finally feels like
I sure oughta know what it finally feels like to be
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, a doin' it right
