Lyrics
As a young man no direction all reflection no perspective well liked not well respected no investments disaffected sleepless nights so restless took the wrong path towards correction more mistakes than I care to mention had to find a lesson in a mind of wreckage gave myself my own intervention now I'm on the road to redemption the old me's gone like I hardly knew ya everybody say Hallelujah! If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me you can call me Al young 20's teenage wasteland go hard go home then faceplant Mr. Beerbelly stretched my waistband look now I've got a whole new gameplan yes ma'am I'm a changed man future so bright gotta wear Raybans you can find me chillin' with the Rain Man feeling like I found my Graceland gave myself my own intervention now I'm on the road to redemption the old me's gone like I hardly knew ya everybody say Hallelujah! If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me you can call me Al If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me you can call me Al na na na na, na na na na (x4) gave myself my own intervention now I'm on the road to redemption the old me's gone like I hardly knew ya everybody say Hallelujah! If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me you can call me Al If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me you can call me Al and Betty when you call me you can call me Al (call me Al) (x5)
