Outfit |
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 and 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 |
