Lyrics
When I was very young my daddy took me on his knee
Said, "There's some things I want to learn you
Before you get away from me
Don't let nobody boss you much and keep your money clean
Treat a woman like a lady and your lady like a queen"
But I didn't know what he was talking about
I didn't know what he was trying to say
'Til I got out in this mean old world
And it turned my head around the other way
When I was eighteen a lady picked me up from off of the street
She put a new suit on my back and new boots on my feet
I said, "Thank you, kind lady, what do you want in return?"
She said, "Young man, put yourself in my hands
And you're damn sure gonna learn"
But I didn't know what she was talking about
I didn't know what she was trying to say
'Til she took me in the backroom
And she turned my head around the other way
Right along about this time the story's kind of sad
'Cause by the time that I turned twenty-one
I thought that I was bad
'Til I cussed out this old man down in a beer joint late one night
He said, "Son, if you want to talk, we'll talk
But if you want to fight, let's fight"
And I didn't know what he was talking about
I didn't know what he was trying to say
'Til he took me out in the parking lot
And he turned my head around the other way
'Til he took me out in the parking lot
And he turned my head around the other way
