Lyrics:

Never get too big, never get too heavy
Never get too cool 'cause you stop playin' the tune
Oh yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you

Lost your wife, lost your son
Stay out drinkin' till the mornin' comes
Oh yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you

Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on, yeah

Crazy women mess your head
Wake up drunk and beaten in some strange bed
Oh yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you

Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on, yeah

Got to keep on keepin' on
Got to keep on, keep strong
Got to keep on keepin' on
When you
Got the riot city blues

One thing I have to say before I have to go
Be careful with your seed, you will reap just what you sow
Oh yeah, what can a poor boy do? What can I do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
One last time

Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on
