Blessed Be the Bad Ones
Dallas Moore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through the nights I can't remember
and the things I won't forget
should've been there a long time ago
they ain't got me yeah.

Oh blessed be the bad ones like me!
Blessed be the bad ones like me!
Finish what you started
I'm here to do just that
God just might forgive you
but you know that I can.

Oh blessed be the bad ones like me!
Blessed be the bad ones like me!
Yeah!

Drifting out for pound to town
I do what I've got to do,
ain't no more looking back for me,
my sad sir set on you.

Oh blessed be the bad ones like me!
Blessed be the bad ones like me!
Blessed be the bad ones like me!
Blessed be the bad ones.like me!

Blessed be the bad ones like me!
Blessed be the bad ones like me!
Blessed be the bad ones like me!
Blessed be the bad ones like me!

Through the nights I can't remember
and the things I won't forget
should've been there a long time ago




they ain't got me yeah.
Oh blessed be the bad ones like me!

Line by Line Meaning

Through the nights I can't remember
In the moments where I was too intoxicated to recall a single thought or movement


and the things I won't forget
And in the actions that were so impactful and unforgettable they stay with me till this day


should've been there a long time ago
I ought to have been present and made the right choices long before now


they ain't got me yeah.
But the weight of those mistakes haven't taken over me and I'm still fighting


Oh blessed be the bad ones like me!
People like me, who have seen the dark side and survived, are the ones to celebrate


Finish what you started
Complete what you initiated


I'm here to do just that
I'm here to achieve the goals that I began and intended to see through


God just might forgive you
Divinity has the capacity to overlook wrongdoing


but you know that I can.
But I won't gloss over the transgressions of others who've wronged me


Drifting out for pound to town
I've been wandering aimlessly from place to place


I do what I've got to do,
Making the necessary sacrifices to get to where I need to be


ain't no more looking back for me,
No longer dwelling in the past and its mistakes


my sad sir set on you.
My focus now set on achieving my goals and fulfilling my dreams


Blessed be the bad ones like me!
Rejoice, praise and glorify people like me who've taken risks and survived

If he lived by you. Then you must know me. The name don't smack me but then I knew most of you all by sight. I had the Candy Store from 84 to 87. The Little Red Shack. GOOD TIMES!
