Tearin' Up The Country

(álbum: Mardi Gras - 1972)

Playing a pavilion on the outskirts of town,
Playing where my roller derby rolls.
Just a part time music man, A nobody at the plant,
I'm Tearing Up The Country with a song.

Mom and Papa told me "Son, you gotta go to school;
Only way to make the fam'ly proud."
I paid no attention, left my books at home,
Rather play my music real loud.

Tearing Up The Country with a song.
Tearing Up The Country with a song.
I paid no attention, left my books at home,
Rather play my music real loud.

Play it loud, now! Woo!

Tearing Up The Country with a song.
Tearing Up The Country with a song.
I paid no attention, left my books at home,
Rather play my music real loud.

Ran into a dry spell, seemed nowhere to go.
Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way.
I remember loading big trucks when the summer sun was hot,
You know I could still be there, but I'm not.

Tearing Up The Country with a song.
Tearing Up The Country with a song.
I remember loading big trucks when the summer sun was hot,
You know I could still be there, but I'm not.

Tearing Up The Country with a song.
I'm tearing Up The Country with a song.
I remember loading big trucks when the summer sun was hot,
You know I could still be there, but I'm not.
