Tekst piosenki

Alright, watch out


Now my daddy was hard shelled Alabama preacher

My momma was a dedicated Sunday school teacher

My brother went to college and got a PHD

Daddy said the only dud in the family was me


He said 'oy you ain't never going to amount to a thing

You set around with that silly looking guitar and sing

You hang around them juke joints all the time

Making music like some wild man done lost his mind


Sock it to me

Well what's that supposed to mean

Boy you just a wild man'


Well then one day daddy told me 'Boy I've had enough

Now you just pack up that guitar you just pack up your stuff'

So I left home and organized myself a band

Called myself the Alabama wild man


Well I worked all them joints from the east to the west

Never making no money and a-starving to death

A-living on coffee and cold sardines

Soda crackers and pork n beans


But I finally went to Music City USA

Said I'm the Alabama wild man and I'm here to stay

Took my guitar and showed 'em what I'm talking about

So we made a little record and we put it out


With me going

Sock it to me honey

Ha ha hook it boy

Play that guitar


Well now I'm driving the Cadillacs a city block long

The Alabama wild man could do no wrong

'Cause I'm selling them records

And I'm working them shows

And people love me everywhere I go


But a funny thing happened about a week or so back

I was a showing my home town and the place was packed

Guess who was sitting on the front row seat

Was my daddy grinning up at me batting at me


Yelling

'Sock it your daddy wild man

Hook it boy, hook it

Play that guitar show 'em son


Yeah that's my boy alright

Taught him everything he knows

Bought him his first guitar

Ah sock it to your daddy son

Go ahead put it to me put it to me

Keep them checks coming in boy

We going to pave the drive next week'
