        <description>Were you an adolescent that went astray, like Merle Haggard did?&amp;nbsp; Are you the parent of a child that took the wrong road?&amp;nbsp;If you have a story to tell about how you turned it all around, tell it here, at the site of this brand new song.&amp;nbsp;
Here are the lyrics, the recording is in the works.&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp;
Arrested Development
words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008
&amp;nbsp;
he lost his father when he was a young boy
and loss of dad can be a terrible thing
who knows if that provides an explanation
for the life of crime
that his young life would bring
he caused his mother so much grief and heartache
rebellion nearly was his middle name
he&#039;d ride the rails of central California
escapin&#039; from the things that caused her pain
&amp;nbsp;
arrested development
that is how his time was spent
his home became a prison cell for teens
arrested development
whiskey-wet&amp;nbsp;and trouble-bent
someday he&#039;d turn this nightmare 
to a dream
&amp;nbsp;
some folks may say the kid was
hyperactive
some folks would will tell you
crime comes with the genes
some folks would say this town
just drove him crazy
so hot and bored
it made him wanna scream
whatever was the reason
for his trouble
he found it and it filled his heart with gloom
one day he was released from old San Quentin
the day&amp;nbsp;I released from my mom&#039;s womb
&amp;nbsp;
arrested development
that is how his time was spent
his home became a prison cell for teens
arrested development
whiskey-wet&amp;nbsp;and trouble-bent
someday he&#039;d turn this nightmare 
to a dream
&amp;nbsp;
somewhere on the road he found redemption
he searched his soul
and found and found a brand new song
somewhere down the road
he broke the chains and
took what once was weak
and made it strong 
&amp;nbsp;
arrested development
that is how his time was spent
his home became a prison cell for teens
arrested development

                <description>&lt;p&gt;No problem, I terrible with both dates and names.  I appreciate the compliment on the song.  Also, I&#039;m a huge Bob Marley fan.  I think &lt;i&gt;Legend&lt;/i&gt; is one of the greatest albums ever released.   &lt;/p&gt;</description>
