Weeks ago, cool with a Lucky Strike Snuck into the barn a guy who said his name was Mike Started makin' out when he said he was in love, I "Whoa! I wanna be friends."
Didn't know I said the F-word Mike threw a punch, the flew upward caught fire, Cows and chickens all runnin' I my life had come to an end
Momma was mad, saw her eyes lit up flame I up an excuse but she said "Careful what you say" Reminding me again: words are cause for blame Then she grabbed me by the collar - called me by my name
