They came this mornin' with a dog on a chain
|
They came and took my little brother away
|
His generation never even got a name
|
|
My momma was a rocker way back in '53
|
Buys them old records that they sell on T.V.
|
I know Chuck Berry wasn't singin' that to me
|
|
Chorus
|
Momma,
|
That's all right, it's your world
|
Hey this is my life
|
She's my girl
|
My life/your world
|
|
I watch that fortune wheel
|
But never get to spin it
|
You made me promises, I don't think you meant it
|
If there's some sunshine baby
|
I'm gonna get out in it - oh yeah
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
I tried to leave, but the traffic had been stopped
|
The beach was burnin', and someone was
|
Throwin' rocks -
|
They said an airplane had
|
Fallen on my block
|
|
