When I was a young boy
|
I was workin' for the state
|
I wasn't makin' much money
|
I was stayin' out late
|
Go down at nighttime and
|
Play music in the bars
|
Take my breaks out underneath the stars
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I was makin' some noise
|
I was a workin' boy up at the top of my voice
|
Sayin', "Look at me mama I'm makin' some noise"
|
|
I had to rock the boat, I had to shake the tree
|
To see what'd fall down on me
|
I thought, "Maybe I can make it if I never give in
|
I been down before, I ain't goin' down again."
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
From across the canyon a guitar plays
|
Through an amplifier on long delay
|
It was an old melody, I recognized the song
|
I had an amplifier too, so I played along
|
|
I'm makin' some noise, I'm still a working boy
|
Up at the top of my voice
|
Sayin', "Look at me Mama I'm makin' some noise."
|
I'm makin' some noise, I been a long gone boy
|
