Vince Triple-O Martin - Jerry Jeff Walker[00:00:00]
Mama said you lazy boy[00:00:06]
You better get yourself a job[00:00:08]
You can't go on living like this[00:00:11]
You know you upset your pa[00:00:13]
And can't you hear how the neighbors talk[00:00:17]
You're making me the laughing stock for blocks[00:00:19]
Playing on your guitar (you foolish boy)[00:00:21]
All you want to do is lay around[00:00:28]
And listen to the pocket radio[00:00:31]
Or wander over to the Jennings house[00:00:34]
And play so loud they say you shake the floor[00:00:36]
And every night you're out 'til 4 or 5[00:00:40]
You're bound to drive me slowly out of my mind[00:00:42]
Playing on that guitar (it'll kill ya son)[00:00:44]
But papa works from dawn to dusk[00:00:51]
And every night his back aches worse[00:00:53]
While mama takes in washing too[00:00:57]
And most of what she makes goes to the church[00:00:59]
And if I ask them why they work that way[00:01:02]
They look at me as if I've gone insane[00:01:05]
Playing on the guitar (it'll turn your fingers green)[00:01:07]
If I put fourteen new albums out[00:01:14]
And say six of 'em made the charts[00:01:16]
My mom would call me on Sunday night[00:01:19]
To ask me if I finally got a job[00:01:21]
And where did she go wrong I've hurt her so[00:01:25]
Then she'll pray to God to save me from my fate[00:01:27]
Of playing on the guitar (it's a foolish thing)[00:01:30]
I guess they feel a man should work himself[00:01:49]
Tell he drops in a broken heap[00:01:53]
And for his life work he gets a watch[00:01:56]
And a milky handshake from Mr Cheap[00:01:58]
A song in church on Sunday's fine[00:02:02]
But never lose your head and waste your life[00:02:04]
By playing on that guitar[00:02:07]
(ah rock me now and hit a lick for me boys)[00:02:08]
