Después de ser echado de casa de sus padres a la edad de 15 años, Mike comenzó a tomar drogas y a cometer delitos menores, metiéndose a la escena punk y fundando Social Distortion en 1978. Su adicción a la drogas se convirtió en tal problema que la banda casi se separa después de editar el primer disco, Mommy's Little Monster. Parte de estos problemas internos son capturados en el documental Another State of Mind (1984) donde se muestra un tour fallido por los Estados Unidos de Social Distortion y otras bandas.

Mike Ness - Rest of our lives Cheating at solitaire [email protected]
C Eighteen years in a traveling band
Seen a lot of one night stands FC And still I found myself so very much alone
And it took those years to find myself
Wasn't lookin' for no one else F And then I found you girl C But you were there all along GFC And we'll spend each day like it's the last day of the rest of our lives C I'll be the king you'll be my wife
Gonna make it thru this thing called life F Gonna raise these kids on our own C The very best we can
And sixteen hours is a long, long time
When you gotta love that's on your mind F Can you tell that I'm not right? C I'm a little distraught GFC And we'll spend each day like it's the last day of the rest of our lives GF Everyday we'll fall in love just a little more C For the rest of our lives
Sittin' here in the county jail Ain't no one to go my bail I shoulda been there with you For some sympathy and tea And eighteen years in at traveling band Seen a lot of one night stands And still I found myself so very much alone Repeat chorus
