You never get too big
You never get too heavy
You never get too cool
Did you stop payin' your dues
Oh, yeah
What can a poor boy do?
Better go back to you mama
She'll take care of you

Lost your wife
Lost your son
Stay out drinkin' 'til the morning comes
Oh, yeah
What can a poor boy do?
Better go back to you mama
She'll take care of you

Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on

Crazy women
Mess your head
Wake up drunk and bleeding
In some strange bed
Oh, yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
She'll take care of you

Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on

Gotta keep on keepin' on
Gotta keep on keepin' strong
When you got the riot city blues

One thing I have to say
Before I have to go
Be careful with your seed
You will reap just what you sow
Oh, yeah
What can a poor boy do?
What can I do?
Better go back to your mama
She'll take care of you

What a time

Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on

Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
