"Tearing Up The Country" lyrics

Tearing Up The Country

Playing a pavilion
On the outskirts of town
Playing where my roller derby rolls
Just a part time music man
A nobody at the plant
I'm tearing up the country with a song

Mom and papa told me
Son, you gotta go to school
Only way to make the family proud
I paid no attention
Left my books at home
Rather play my music real loud

Tearing up the country with a song
Tearing 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

Tearing up the country with a song
Tearing 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 loading big trucks
When the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not

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

Tearing up the country with a song
I'm tearing up the country with a song
I remember loading big trucks
When the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not
