Stomp and Holler

Little Johnny Walker caught a bullet last night

Runnin' from the guitar store

Took a left down the alley, guess he shoulda gone right

Now he ain't takin' nothing no more, no more

Everybody knows it's a hard time

Livin' with hate and the greed

Most folks earn what they get for a living

Others gotta steal what they need

Down on the corner, already talkin'

How they're gonna cut that take

I'm out here just working for a dollar

All I wanna do is stomp and holler

Eighteen years, eighteen years

That's a long, old time to be

Sittin' face down, stoned in the alley

Wonderin' how to get to that shining sea

Everybody knows it's a hard time

Livin' on minimum wage

Some people just gon' sneak on through

Others gotta rattle that cage

One of these days, I'm gonna find my way

Or else I'm gon' disappear

I'm out here in the filth and squalor

All I wanna do is stomp and holler

Rock and roll, ache and moan

Listen to the young girls scream

Every time I get a little bit lucky

I've got to wake up from a poor man's dream

Heaven only knows how we get there

After all the trouble and strife

From all I've seen, you only get one shot

At what you gon' do in this life

Ah, what the hell, I guess I might as well

Take a chance and try my way

I'm like James Brown, only white and taller

All I wanna do is stomp and holler

I'm like James Brown, only white and taller

All I wanna do is stomp and holler

Lord, I wanna stomp and holler

Had you for a minute there
