Lyrics

Playin' a pavilion on the outskirts of town
Playin' where my roller derby rolls
Just a part time music man, a nobody at the plant
I'm tearin' up the country with a song

Mom and papa told me "son, you gotta go to school;
Only way to make the fam'ly proud."
I paid no attention, left my books at home
Rather play my music real loud

Tearin' up the country with a song
Tearin' up the country with a song
I paid no attention, left my books at home
Rather play my music real loud

Play it loud, now! woo!

Tearin' up the country with a song
Tearin' up the country with a song
I paid no attention, left my books at home
Rather play my music real loud

Ran into a dry spell, seemed nowhere to go
Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way
I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not

Tearin' up the country with a song
Tearin' up the country with a song
I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not

Tearin' up the country with a song
I'm tearin' up the country with a song
I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not
