Mama and daddy told me

When I was knee high to the ground

He said son don't let nobody

Push you around

You don't have to be the best in town

Just try to be the best until

Till the best come around

When I first heard muddy waters

I knew I was Chicago bound

Start playing on the south side

And this is what I found

You don't have to be the best in town

Just got to be the best

Till the best come around

You don't have to be the fastest gun

But a hoochie coochie man of the seven suns

I'm gonna keep on grinning

Till my grays in the ground

Because I'm too far gone to ever turn around

You don't have to be the fastest gun

But a hoochie coochie man of the seven suns

I'm gonna keep on grinning

Till my grays in the ground

Because I'm too far gone to ever turn around

Met a side town women

Down on wall bass avenue

She said I'm going love you

You damn sure gonna love me too

You don't have to be the best in town

Just try to be the best

Look ahh here

You don't have to be the best in town

You just got to be the best

Till the best come around
