Lyrics

[00:09.45] I was born one night about twelve o'clock
[00:12.83]
[00:13.02] I come in this world playin' a gold guitar
[00:16.94]
[00:20.19] My father was around stickin' out his chest
[00:22.25]
[00:23.14]
[00:24.07]
[00:25.26] A-now, mama this boy he gon fee' you a mess
[00:27.75]
[00:28.57]
[00:28.75] Yeah! Yea-ha, Ooh, uh-huh
[00:39.42]
[00:41.61] Now, people came from miles around
[00:44.04]
[00:47.41] Yeah, just to hear my little guitar sound
[00:49.47]
[00:52.42] Now, some of 'em said I had what it takes
[00:55.24]
[00:57.94] If I keep on practice I'd be famous one day
[01:00.87]
[01:01.56]
[01:02.81] Woo, I'm a mess!
[01:03.81]
[01:06.12] I'm a killer-diller
[01:06.61] Uh-huh, yea-hey, a-uh, uh-huh
[01:17.35]
[01:20.16] Early in the middle of the night
[01:22.34]
[01:25.33] A car drove up with four headlights
[01:27.52]
[01:28.33]
[01:29.83]
[01:30.76] Now, a man stepped out wit' a long cigar
[01:33.70]
[01:36.44] He said, 'Sign this line and I can make you a star'
[01:39.44]
[01:40.12]
[01:40.44]
[01:41.68] I said, 'Now, what's in it man, what's in it for me?'
[01:43.93]
[01:47.37] He says, 'I'd, play yo' guitar son and wait an see'
[01:49.61]
[01:52.60] Here I am!
[01:55.05]
[01:58.17] The girls liked me, they say, 'It's crazy, it sound nice
[02:06.57]

[02:13.99]
[02:17.36] I played fo' some people I'd never seen before
[02:19.98]
[02:22.60] It was good too
[02:24.60]
[02:27.59] They like it
