| Sunday morning I heard mama pray
|
| From a room I heard her say
|
| «Good Lord help my son find his way»
|
| «Lord he’s just a country boy»
|
| «Thinks the world is great big toy»
|
| There ain’t nothin' he can’t do
|
| If he wants to
|
| He got himself a part time job
|
| Saved his money and bought him a guitar
|
| Played from sun up to sundown, hey, hey, hey
|
| (He don’t wanna) Go to school no more
|
| Don’t do his household chores
|
| But I’m a hit, the neighbors biggest sound, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| (He's) Got some big ideas
|
| He’s talkin' 'bout leavin' here
|
| Going to a place called New York City
|
| And here’s what he told me
|
| Mama, I gotta brand new thing don’t say no
|
| Let me go
|
| Mama, (Yeah) I gotta brand new thing don’t say no
|
| Let me go
|
| Mama said, «My son, my son you’re only sixteen»
|
| «I know being a star is your dream»
|
| «But I think it’s time you stop all this foolin'»
|
| «And get to your schoolin'»
|
| Living in a state of frustration
|
| Stop preachin' that education
|
| 'Cause this job is gonna make me a king
|
| Above everything else, listen
|
| Donned from head to toe
|
| First class everywhere we go
|
| Just give me a chance to do my thing
|
| Mama, I gotta brand new thing don’t say no
|
| Let me go
|
| Mama, I gotta brand new thing don’t say no
|
| Let me go
|
| I can see it now
|
| Champagne and caviar
|
| Black limousine, chauffeured car
|
| Trips all around the world
|
| And I’ll have my choice of any girl
|
| People lined up as far as you can see
|
| Standing in line just to see me
|
| Money stacking up to the sky
|
| There ain’t nothin' that we can’t buy
|
| Have a little faith in me
|
| Mama I’m sure |
