I am a poor boy from the other side of town
I shovel black coal and I watch the sun go down
Beyond the crooked streets of pain and misery
There is a girl who is waiting there for me
And I will love her
Tonight, like no other
He said Jesus walked on the water
And I know that it's true
But sometimes I think that preacherman
Would like to do a little walking too
But I ain't asking nobody for nothing
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm living
You just leave this long haired country boy alone
His boss said to him
Boy, you'd better begin
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy, who do you think that you are?
You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar and Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let em
After six hours of school I've had enough for the day
I hit the radio dial and turn it up all the way
I gotta dance dance dance dance
Now the beat's really hot
