I was one or two just lying in my crib Shaking that rattle like I always did Susie strolled in that little girl next door Next thing you know we were rolling on the floor Mama came a runnin' to her little pride and joy Said bless his little heart he's an excitable boy High school redneck rebel to the bone Running eighty miles an hour in a thirty mile zone Steal a little kiss skip a little school Break another heart bend another rule Cop tells the principal he's only making noise Cut the kid some slack he's an excitable boy I've been a renegade since the day I was born I get a little carried away Never meant to do nobody no harm I gotta rock it I can't stop it I ain't about to change [ fiddle - guitar ] Parking with my darling fogging up the gla** Slipping cross the truck seat tryin' to make a pa** My baby said stop we gotta take it slow But you know me I'm always raring to go It's the way I am I don't have no choice What can I say I'm an excitable boy I've been a renegade since the day I was born... What can I say I'm an excitable boy what can I say I'm an excitable boy [ guitar - piano ] Ah you know I just can't help myself it's just the way I am
