[Verse 1]
Never get too big, never get too heavy
Never get too cool, you stop paying your dues, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you
[Verse 2]
Lost your wife, lost your son
Stay out drinking 'til the morning comes, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you
[Chorus]
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
[Verse 3]
Crazy woman, mess your head
Wake up drunk and bleeding in some strange bed, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you
[Chorus]
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
[Bridge]
Gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping strong
Gotta keep on keeping on
When you got the right
You got the right city blues, woo!
[Verse 4]
The thing I have to say before I go
Be careful with your seed, you will reap just what you sow, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you, oh
[Chorus]
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on, hey
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
