Simple as my mama said when I was very young
She told me not to worry, son
One day you'll be someone
But here I am at twenty one
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
She told me not to worry, son
One day you'll be someone
But here I am at twenty one
As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
I'm sorry mamma
Please don't look at me
[Verse 2]
When I got to Oklahoma, I was seventeen
My papa taught me how to work, and lord, he was mean
Workin' all day in that August heat
And he taught me how to fish
My uncle taught me how to drink
[Verse 3]
Well, I went California and I had me a band
And we played in all the bars in all the Southern lands
We played all night and we drank for free
All of my boys and me
[Chorus]
Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me
Soon I'll be 24, and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more
I know I shoulda taken it slow
It's not the way that my life goes
Now I know
When you're passed out on the floor
You’re sober by 24
[Verse 4]
Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time
And I'd drink my whiskey and she'd drink wine
But soon, my bottle was too much to company
Yeah, we’d sit on the river and we’d fish all day
And we'd drive across the country, let the radio play
Seven damn years, I never thought she'd leave
[Chorus]
Now I'm 23 and there ain’t nobody who can drink like me
Soon, I'll be 24 and the lord knows that I can't drink no more
I know I shoulda taken it slow
It’s not the way that my life goes
Lord, I know
When you're passed out on the floor
You’re sober by 24
[Outro]
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
She told me not to worry, son
One day you'll be someone
But here I am at twenty one
As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
I'm sorry mamma
Please don't look at me
就这么简单我的妈妈说，当我还很年轻
她告诉我不要担心，儿子
有一天，你会被别人
但在这里，我在21
由于加载为驿马猎枪
对不起妈妈
请不要看我
[诗歌2]
当我到俄克拉何马州，我十七岁
我爸爸教我如何工作，以及主，他平均
日夜不停的整天在8月份热
他教我如何钓鱼
我叔叔教我怎么喝
[诗歌3]
好吧，我去加州，我有我带
而我们在所有的酒吧中的所有南方的土地发挥
我们玩了一夜，我们喝免费
所有我的孩子们和我的
[合唱]
现在我23，并且没有任何人谁可以喝我一样
我很快24，上帝知道，我不能喝没有更多的
我知道我早该采取缓慢它
这是没有办法的办法，我的生活在继续
现在我明白了
当你通过在地板上
您可以通过24是清醒
[第4节]
嗯，我有一个女孩谁爱我整个该死的时间
而且我喝我的威士忌和她喝酒
但很快，我的瓶子是太多公司
是啊，我们就坐在河边，我们就整天鱼
我们会在全国范围内推动，让广播剧
七该死多年，我从来没有想过她会离开
[合唱]
现在我23，并且没有任何人谁可以喝我一样
不久，我将24和主知道我不能喝没有更多的
我知道我早该采取缓慢它
这是没有办法的办法，我的生活在继续
主啊，我知道
当你通过在地板上
您可以通过24是清醒

就这么简单我的妈妈说，当我还很年轻
她告诉我不要担心，儿子
有一天，你会被别人
