[Verse 1]
Never get too big, never get too heavy
Never get too cool 'cause you stop payin' your dues
Yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you

[Verse 2]
Lost your wife, lost your son
Stayed out drinkin' till the mornin' comes
Yeah, what can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you

[Chorus]
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through the diseased land
Where I'm tired, where I'm weak, where I'm worn
Whеre I have stole, I havе sinned, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on

[Verse 3]
Filthy women mess your head
Wake up drunk and beaten in some strange bed
Yeah, what can a motherfucker do?
You better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you

[Chorus]
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through the diseased land
Where I'm tired, where I'm weak, where I'm worn
Where I have stole, where I have sinned, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Got to keep on keepin' on
Got to keep on keepin' strong
Got to keep on keepin' on
When you
Got the riot city blues

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Come on
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whole lotta shakin' going on
We invigor
Whole lotta shakin' going on

[Verse 4]
One thing I have to say before I have to go
Be careful with your seed, you gonna reap just what you sow
Yeah, what can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you, you, you

[Chorus]
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through the diseased land
Where I'm tired, where I'm weak, where I'm worn
Where I have stole, where I have sinned, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through the diseased land
Where I'm tired, where I'm weak, where I'm worn
Where I have stole, where I have sinned, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on
Country girl, got to keep on keepin' on
