Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Lord, have mercy
Gotta tell it
Tell it just like it is
Every word
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I was livin' in St. Louis
In the year of 1955
Mama didn't have no great mansion
Just a little, old country dive
Papa worked all week long
Try to keep us six kids alive
[Verse 3]
So I hitchhiked to Chicago
Just to hear Muddy Waters play
I sat and listened to him sing
Until the early hours of day
I ask him what I could do to make it
And it was he who showed me the way
[Verse 4]
I went back home and wrote a song
And made a record I could claim
Little tune jumped on the charts
And rode me right on up to fame
It netted over ten thousand dollars
And added glory to my name
[Verse 5]
I was standin' at the airport
With my guitar in my hand
And a first class ticket
Destination movie land
I will be in Hollywood, Mama
Before the roosters crow again
[Verse 6]
When I first start playin' music
Over sixteen years ago
Every big town in the country
From San Fran' to Baltimore
Tryna bring some happy hours
Doin' the only thing I know
[Verse 7]
Can't help it, but I love it
Stand here, sing to you
Brings back so many memories
Many things we used to do
Till I see you here again
Take care, good luck to you
