Sonny boy, you need new sneakers
|
Better go into town and get then Friday night
|
Come to think of it, kid, you need just about everything
|
But I think things are gonna be all right,
|
Yes, I think things are gonna be all right.
|
|
So you went and got yourself back into trouble
|
Went and got yourself into another fight
|
Come on here, let me see your eye, now it's all black and swollen
|
But I think you're gonna be all right
|
Yes, I think that you're gonna be all right.
|
|
I don't know why you're such a troublemaker
|
You'd think that maybe by now you'd see the light
|
Getting yourself torn up, boy, and we don't have that much money
|
But I think maybe things will be all right,
|
Yes, I think maybe things will be all right.
|
|
Now maybe I shouldn't yell
|
'Cause I know you're just a kid
|
But I can't always tell
|
What's on your mind, half of the time, brother mine.
|
|
Now I know that you're just my little brother
|
And I don't expect you to get everything just right
|
But I think you ought to use a little more sense than what you're using
|
And maybe then things would be all right,
|
Yes, and maybe then thing would be all right.
|
|
I know that I sit and I worry too much
|
Especially when you come home such a sight
|
But I guess what you've got to do, boy, you go ahead and do it
|
And I sure hope thing will be all right,
|
Yes, I sure hope things will be all right.
|
|
Now you come back here, you scruffy little brother
|
Come on back here and let me kiss you goodnight
|
'Cause I know if you were gone I'd miss the sound of laughter
|
And that's gonna make everything all right,
|
Yes, that's gonna make everything all right.
|
