Turned My Head Around

Lyrics

"Turned My Head Around"
 When I was very young my daddy took me on his knee
 "Son, there's some things I wanna learn ya
 Before you get away from me"
 "Don't let nobody boss you much
 And keep your money clean
 Treat a woman like a lady
 And your lady like a queen"
 But I didn't know what he was talking about
 I didn't know what he was trying to say
 'Til I got out in this mean old world
 And you can turn my head around the other way
 When I was eighteen a lady picked me up
 From off of the street
 She put a new suit on my back
 And new boots on my feet
 I said, "Thank you, kind lady.
 What do you want in return?"
 She said, "Young man, put yourself in my hands
 And you're damn sure gonna learn"
 But I didn't know what she was talking about
 I didn't know what she was trying to say
 'Til she took me in the back room
 And she turned my head around the other way
 Right along about this time
 The story is rather sad
 It was about the time that I turned 21
 I thought that I was bad
 Then I cussed out this old man
 Down here in the beer joint late one night
 He said, "Son, if you wanna talk you talk
 But if you wanna fight, let's fight"
 But I didn't know what he was talking about
 I didn't know what he was trying to say
 'Til he took me out in the parking lot
 And he turned my head around the other way
 'Til he took me out in the parking lot
 He turned my head around the other way
