Alabama Wild Man - Buddha Remastered - 2000

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, "Boy, 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"
 Going 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
 Haha, hook it, boy
 Play that guitar
 ♪
 Well, now I'm driving, the Cadillac's 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 hometown 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"
