CAPO I INTRO: RIFF: (2x) I was raised on the west side shanty town I didn't get up until the sun went down When your back's against the wall, you better get tough N.C. You learn real quick how to swing and duck I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine Good lookin' women backwoods and moonshine Learned more about life on the streets than in the school N.C. My sweet mama didn't raise no fool, that's right RIFF Some folks cheat and some folks lie But I can judge a man by the look in his eye Don't hand by Jack and try to call it cola N.C. I can tell the difference between shit and shinola CHORUS SOLO: I'm talkin' 'bout mama Oh sweet mama Mama was no angel but she taught me right from wrong She knew every single word and every note of every song She taught me how to gamble and how to roll the dice If it makes you feel good do it, don't think twice CHORUS (2x) RIFF (4x)
