intro
Ooh, One, Two
verse 1
Mama, I guess you have stood and cursed
The day I found that old guitar
When Uncle Harry died
The one we found in the boot of his old car
The day I found that old guitar
When Uncle Harry died
The one we found in the boot of his old car
verse 2
I remember how my little fingers blistered
When I tried to learn to play
I bet you never dreamed that old guitar
Would put me where I am today
When I tried to learn to play
I bet you never dreamed that old guitar
Would put me where I am today
verse 3
Yes, it's been a lot of years
I guess it's been an interesting life
No, mam, I never found another woman
That I wanted for a wife
I guess it's been an interesting life
No, mam, I never found another woman
That I wanted for a wife
verse 4
I guess the first time showed us
That I wasn't the domesticated kind
But I don't blame her for getting tired
Of living from a suitcase all the time
That I wasn't the domesticated kind
But I don't blame her for getting tired
Of living from a suitcase all the time
verse 5
Yes, I know sometimes it looks
Like I've just simply thrown my life away
I just always figured that if I hung on
I'd make it big some day
Like I've just simply thrown my life away
I just always figured that if I hung on
I'd make it big some day
verse 6
I guess it takes a special breed
To live this way and think the way I think
But you'll be glad to hear that any more
I ain't near as bad to drink
To live this way and think the way I think
But you'll be glad to hear that any more
I ain't near as bad to drink
verse 7
How is Tommy doing with the business
Now that daddy's passed away?
I'm sure daddy always knew that Tom
Would be the one to take his place
Now that daddy's passed away?
I'm sure daddy always knew that Tom
Would be the one to take his place
verse 8
And when he tried to lecture me
I'd sit and pick and sing and let him nag
But way down deep inside I think
He always knew that hardware ain't my bag
I'd sit and pick and sing and let him nag
But way down deep inside I think
He always knew that hardware ain't my bag
verse 9
We open Monday night in Bolton City
Or another two week stand
I wish there was some way that you and Tom
Could come and hear my band
Or another two week stand
I wish there was some way that you and Tom
Could come and hear my band
verse 10
Wish I had the time to tell you 'bout the
Places that I've been, the things I saw
And I'll send the fifteen dollars soon
As I get to the club and make a draw
Places that I've been, the things I saw
And I'll send the fifteen dollars soon
As I get to the club and make a draw
verse 11
When you're hot, you're hot there
Ah, I mean, ah, when, what is
When you're hot, you're hot, yeah, okay
All right
I've got my dog and he's real mean
Ah, I mean, ah, when, what is
When you're hot, you're hot, yeah, okay
All right
I've got my dog and he's real mean
