Experience

I learned half of what I know

From the worst teacher goin'

Experience

That school's too slow

An' I know folks

Smart ones from the city

Who gone and made a life's work

And a decade later

they still do it shitty

Experience

That's experience for ya

Moves kinda slow

You get off the bus

The same guy that got on 20 years ago

And as I feel it

Is it art or imitating?

'Cause if it's art

Then all my life's been finger painting

Had my best luck, though

With a big easel

I'd rather be an art project, babe

Than just weasel out with wearin' one

And come to suspect the whole experience

Experience, I think I understand

Is it like doin' 90

Her top's down

An' wind's in your beer can

That single moment on a bungee jump

You're down goin' down

You're comin' up now

I think I felt that before

It was kind of an experience

One shining moment lost in time

The one with the showroom shine

Well, I'm sorry girl

Yes, I'm sorry boy

But I feel that way all the time

Till I finally made it

Life was kinda hit or miss

But after I made it

Life was "Take a hit of this"

And I'd love to talk philosophy

But I've gotta take a piss

Man, that philosophy runs right through ya

Take it from me baby

I've got experience

All right

Experience, Do I understand

Is it like doin' a hundred

Her top's down

An' wind's in your beer can

That single moment, babe, on a bungee jump

You're down goin' down

You're comin' up now

Don't look down

That special moment lost in time

The one with the showroom shine

I'm sorry babe

Yes, I'm sorry babe

But I feel that way all the time
