Lyrics
Never get too big, never get too heavy
Never get too cool to top paying your dues
Oh yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Lost your wife, lost your son
Stay out drinking 'til the morning comes
Oh yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Crazy women mess your head
Wake up drunk and bleeding in some strange bed
Oh yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Hey, country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on, hey
Gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping strong
Gotta keep on keeping on
When you got the riot city blues
One thing I have to say before I have to go
Be careful with your seed, you will reap just what you sow
Oh yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
One last time
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Wooh!
