Woke up this morning
Gotta problem on my back (2x)
My baby said she’s pregnant
Oh lord, help us to make it through
Now I gotta raise my kid
And keep him away from the blues
I need some money
Some money to pay my bills (2x)
My kid will be born tomorrow
I ain’t got a cent to buy some milk
Think I’m gonna sell my guitar
A Gibson 1972
My kid came to me
Said "dad I wanna be just like you" (2x)
Said "I’m goin anywhere papa
Not until I know what you know too
Yeah I’m goin anywhere
Not until I know what you know too
Said son I know how you feel,
I used to be just like you (2x)
Listen closely to what I’m gonna say
You won’t be the same anymore
May have no women, no money, no car
But your soul will be always clean
(solo)
Well the dark days have come,
Should know, they always do (2x)
My woman always nagging me
She have cheated on my back
I don’t know how to deal with it
Gonna put her 6 feet under on my backyard
My kid came to town
He was asking for mama
A good father like I should be
Said “ I killed your mama, and that’s the truth”
..
I was dead to him and for myself
Shot my body 7 times
And I went down to the floor singing:
Nanana nanana nananana….
