MY PAPA SAID SON YOU’D BETTER GET BACK TO TOWN

GOT SOME TROUBLE COMIN’ FROM YOUR FUNNIN’ AROUND

YOU GOTTA STOP BREAKIN’ THE HEARTS OF THESE HOMETOWN GIRLS,

THEIR DADDY’S ALL CRINGE WHEN YOU COME AROUND

WHEN YOU TAKE THEIR LITTLE BABIES FOR A NIGHT ON THE TOWN

THEN SNEAK EM’ IN THE BACK PORCH AT THE BREAK OF DAWN

I OVERHEARD THEM TALKIN’ AT THE LOCAL SALOON

THEY’LL BE COMIN’ FOR YOU AND IT’S GONNA BE SOON

WITH A SHORT PIECE OF ROPE TO A TALL OAK BY THE BROOK

YEA, YOUR NAME WAS HANGIN’ BLUE IN THE AIR FOR AWHILE

THERE WASN’T NOT A ONE OF THEM WEARIN’ A SMILE

SO YOU’D BETTER PAY ATTENTION BOY

YA SEE THEIR NOT IMPRESSED

CHORUS

WITH A DOWNTOWN BOY, PLAYIN’ AROUND WITH THE HOMETOWN GIRLS

YEA A DOWNTOWN BOY, BREAKIN’ LITTLE HEARTS, BREAKIN’ ALL OF THE RULES

ITS A BOY AND GIRL REACTION,  MOTHER NATURE WORKIN’ AT HER BEST

TO PUT A DOWNTOWN BOY IN A PLACE LIKE THIS

BREAK

WELL I TURNED TO MY PAPA AND STARED FOR AWHILE, THEN I SHOOK HIS HAND AND SAID GOODBYE WITH A SMILE

BUT JUST BEFORE I GO,  I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY

YA SEE THOSE DOWN HOME GIRLS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN

THEIR THE ONES THAT TELL ME WHEN TO TAKE EM’ ON HOME

I JUST WANNA  PLEASE EM’,  AND THAT’S A FACT

SO WHEN YA HEAR EM’ TALKIN’  BOUT A TALL OAK TREE

AND THEIR GETTIN’ TOGETHER  A PARTY FOR ME

LET EM’ KNOW THE TRUTH OF IT,  DON’T BE COVERING MY TRACKS,

YEA, CAUSE THIS DOWNTOWN BOY IS COMIN’ BACK TO THE FARM

TO TAKE A LITTLE GIRL FROM HER DADDY’S ARMS, I WON’T BE STAYIN’ GONE,  YEA, I’LL BE COMIN’  BACK......CHORUS
