My Mama Mapped Out The Road That She Knows Which Hands You Shake And Which Hands You Hold In My Hand-me-down Mercury, Ready To Roll She Knew That I Had To Go And Hangout, Make Lots Of Noise And Lay Out Late With A Boy Make The Mistakes That She Made ’cause She Knew All..
I’m a hard workin’ man I wear a steel hard hat I can ride, rope, hammer, and paint Do things with my hands that most men can’t I can’t get ahead no matter how hard i try I’m gettin’ really good at barely gettin’ by Got everything i own By the sweat of my brow..
There are days that i can walk around like i’m alright, And i pretend to wear a smile on my face, And i could keep the pain from comin’ out of my eyes, But sometimes, sometimes, Sometimes i cry, Cry, Sometimes i cry, When i can’t do nothing else. Everybody keeps tellin’ me to move..
Flyin’ down a flat track, bottle in a brown sack Pistons pumpin’ in a poor boy’ s cadilac Cross the mississippi, crazy on the pale moonlight I’m goin’ to beat the devil To see my angel tonight…yeah Gotta go can’t stop smokin’ like a chimney top Heart’s on fire got me heated up real hot..
