The summer was coming, I was out in the fields
|
Well then I heard a guitar playing, loud and clear
|
I saw an old man, he sat by a tree
|
He said "Come and listen to me son now, come and listen to me."
|
He said "Hey boy, what does life mean to you? Well alright,"
|
"Does it mean got out, get drunk, and drown your blues?"
|
He said "If that's, what it means to you, well alright,"
|
He said "Well that's a wasted life and I got nothing more to say to you."
|
|
|
Quit my job and baby, I went out, and I bought my first guitar
|
Then I started to learn a thing, 'stead of propping up some bar, what happened?
|
Sent a tape, got our contract, made us all so glad
|
Then you started messing 'round with us, now life's just bad
|
|
|
solo
|
|
|
Are you trying to mess us up now, trying to make us quit?
|
If that's what your trying to do, well, you ain't achieving it
