G5                    F5
 One September morning when I was five

Eb5            F5                   G5
 My daddy said, "Son, rise from your bed."

G5                             F5
 I thought, I must be dreaming, it's still dark outside

        Eb5                 F5                     G5
He said, "Son if you fall behind you'll never get ahead
[Bridge]
Eb5                       F5                   G5
 Here's your little brown cowboy shirt, put it on

Eb5                       F5                    G5
 Here's your little brown cowboy pants, put 'em on

Eb5                       F5             G5
 Here's your little brown shoes, can you tie them yourself?

Eb5           F5         G5
 Get into the car, we're gone!"
[Interlude] | G7 C/G | G5 Bb/G C/C G7 | | G7 C/G | G5 Bb/G C/C G7 | [Verse 2]
G5
 We drove, it seemed like forever,

F5
 Further than I'd ever been away from home

Eb5                        F5          G5
 Then my daddy stopped the car, and he turned to me

        G5
He said, "Son it's time to make us proud of you,

G5
 It's time to do what's right

F5                                   G5
 Gonna have to learn to work hard"
[Verse 3]
       G5
I said, "Work? What are you talking about?

G5
 You're not gonna leave me here, are you?"

       F5               Eb5                G5
He said "Yes I am!" and drove off into the morning light
[Bridge]
Eb5            F5                  G5
 For a while I stood there, on the sidewalk

Eb5           F5               G5
 A Roy Rogers lunch pail in my hand

Eb5          F5                       G5
 Then I heard sweet children's voices calling

Eb5      F5          G5
 And I began to understand
[Chorus]
          Eb5         F5                      G5
They said, "Four eyes! Look like you're still sleeping!"

Eb5         F5                G5
 "Four eyes! Look like you're dead!"

Eb5         F5                   G5
 "Four eyes! Where have you been keeping yourself?"

G5
"Look like you been whupped upside the head."
