Lyrics
When I was a young boy
I was working for the state
I wasn't making much money
I was staying out late
I'd go down at nighttime
Playing music in the bars
Take my breaks out underneath the stars
I was makin' some noise
I was a working boy
Up at the top of my voice saying
"Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!"
I had to rock the boat
I had to shake the tree
To see what fall down on me
I thought maybe I could make it
If I never give in
I've been down before
I ain't goin' down again
I'm makin' some noise
I've been a worried boy
Up at the top of my voice saying
"Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!"
Woah!
From across the canyon
A guitar plays
Through an amplifier
On a long delay
It was an old melody
I recognized the song
I had an amplifier too
So I played along
I'm makin' some noise
I'm still a working boy
At the top of my voice saying
"Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!"
I'm makin' some noise
I've been a long, gone boy
At the top of my voice saying
"Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!"
Oh!
I'm makin' some noise
You
Oh!
Yeah!
I'm makin' some noise
Oh!
I'm makin' some noise
