I get up every morning
I jump right out of bed
I ain't even got time to comb my hair
Across my head
You know that if my mama saw me
She probably tell me what to do
Mama I know just where I'm going
Following the George Washington rules
I came across a memory
It's me but long ago
I did everything wrong
But at that time I didn't know
I guess I had to learn the hard way
Now everyone thinks I'm a fool
Still there's a chance to make things better
Following the George Washington rules
[guitar solo]
I was running round in circles
Now I'm walking straight ahead with a plan
Used to be bore, won't be any more
Found how to behave like a cheerful, decent man
Today there ain't no sunshine
The clouds won't go away
Sometimes I don't know what to think
Or what the hell to say
I play my guitar till the night time
To calm my soul don't blow a fuse
And feed my heart some inspiration
Just reading George Washington's rules
[guitar solo]
I was running round in circles
Now I'm walking straight ahead with a plan
Used to be bore, won't be any more
Found how to behave like a cheerful, decent man
No George he wasn't perfect
He made some bad mistakes
But that don't mean we gotta throw the statues
In the lake
I gonna get back where I started
Before the world got so confused
So let me do it like I wanna
Just reading George Washington's rules
Mama I know just where I'm going
Following the George Washington rules
Still there's a chance to make things better
Following the George Washington rules
