Never get to bed Never get to heavy Never get to come until you start payin' your dues Yeah What can a poor boy do? Better go back to your mamma She'll take care of you Lost your wife Lost your son Stay out drinking 'til the morning comes Yeah What can a poor boy do? Better go back to your mamma She'll take care of you Chorus: Country girl Take my hand Lead me through this deceased land I am tired I have way I am worn I have stolen I have sinned Oh my soul It's unclean Country girl Gotta keep on keep it on Crazy women Mess your head Wake up drunk and beaten In some strange bed Yeah What can a poor boy do? Better go back to your mamma She'll take care of you Chorus Gotta keep on keep it on Gotta keep on keep strong When you Got the riot city blues What do you have to say? Before I have to go Be careful with your seed You'll reap just what you sow Yeah What can a poor boy do? What can I do? Better go back to your mamma She'll take care of you One last time Chorus Country girl Gotta keep on keepin' on
