Lyrics
0:32You wanna grow up to paint houses like me
0:36With a trailer in my yard till you're 23
0:41You wanna feel old after 42 years
0:45Keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gear
0:53Well I used to go out in a Mustang
0:58A 302 Mach One in green
1:03Till me and your mama made you in the back
1:07And I sold it to buy her a ring
1:12And I learned not to say much of nothing
1:17So I figure you already know
1:22But in case you don't or maybe you forgot
1:26I'll lay it out real nice and slow
1:34Don't call what you're wearing an outfit
1:38Don't ever say your car is broke
1:43Don't worry about losing your accent
1:48'Cause a Southern Man tells better jokes
1:53Have fun but stay clear of the needle
1:57Call home on your sister's birthday
2:02Don't tell them you're bigger than Jesus
2:06Don't give it away
2:11Don't give it away
2:16Five years in a St Florian foundry
2:21They call Industrial Park
2:26I worked hospital maintenance Tech School
2:31Just to memorize Frigidaire parts
2:36But I got to missing your mama
2:41And I got to missing you too
2:45So I went back to painting for my old man
2:50And I guess that's what I'll always do
2:57So don't let 'em take who you are boy
3:02And don't try to be who you ain't
3:07And don't let me catch you in Kendale
3:11With a bucket of wealthy man's paint
3:19Don't call what you're wearing an outfit
3:23Don't ever say your car is broke
3:28Don't sing with a fake British accent
3:32Boy don't act like your family's a joke
3:38Have fun but stay clear of the needle
3:42Call home on your sister's birthday
3:47Don't tell them you're bigger than Jesus
3:51Don't give it away
3:55Don't give it away
You wanna grow up to paint houses like me With a trailer in my yard till you're 23 You wanna feel old after 42 years Keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gear Well I used to go out in a Mustang A 302 Mach One in green Till me and your mama made you in the back And I sold it to buy her a ring And I learned not to say much of nothing So I figure you already know But in case you don't or maybe you forgot I'll lay it out real nice and slow Don't call what you're wearing an outfit Don't ever say your car is broke Don't worry about losing your accent 'Cause a Southern Man tells better jokes Have fun but stay clear of the needle Call home on your sister's birthday Don't tell them you're bigger than Jesus Don't give it away Don't give it away Five years in a St Florian foundry They call Industrial Park I worked hospital maintenance Tech School Just to memorize Frigidaire parts But I got to missing your mama And I got to missing you too So I went back to painting for my old man And I guess that's what I'll always do So don't let 'em take who you are boy And don't try to be who you ain't And don't let me catch you in Kendale With a bucket of wealthy man's paint Don't call what you're wearing an outfit Don't ever say your car is broke Don't sing with a fake British accent Boy don't act like your family's a joke Have fun but stay clear of the needle Call home on your sister's birthday Don't tell them you're bigger than Jesus Don't give it away Don't give it away
