Makin' Some Noise

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, played music in the bars

Take my breaks out underneath the stars

I was making some noise

I was a working boy

Up at the top of my voice

Saying, "Look at me momma, I'm making some noise"

I had to rock the boat, I had to shake the tree

To see what would fall down on me

I thought, "Maybe I can make it, if I never give in

I been down before, I ain't going down again"

I'm making some noise

I've been a worried boy

Up at the top of my voice

Saying, "Look at me momma, I'm making some noise"

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 making some noise

I'm still a working boy

At the top of my voice

Saying, "Look at me momma, I'm making some noise"

I'm making some noise

I been a long-gone boy

At the top of my voice

Saying, "Look at me momma, I'm making some noise"

I'm making some noise

I'm making some noise

I'm making some noise
