When I Was A Young Boy
I Was Workin' For The State
I Wasn't Makin' Much Money
I Was Stayin' Out Late
Go Down At Nighttime And
Play Music In The Bars
Take My Breaks Out Underneath The Stars

I Was Makin' Some Noise
I Was A Workin' Boy Up At The Top Of My Voice
Sayin' "Look At Me Mama I'm Makin' Some Noise"

I Had To Rock The Boat, I Had To Shake The Tree
To See What'd Fall Down On Me
I Thought "Maybe I Can Make It If I Never Give In
I Been Down Before, I Ain't Goin' Down Again"

I'm Makin' Some Noise
I Been A Worried Boy Up At The Top Of My Voice
Sayin' "Look At Me Mama I'm Makin' Some Noise"

From Across The Canyon A Guitar Plays
Through An Amplifier On Long Delay
It Was An Old Melody, I Recognized The Song
I Had An Amplifier Too, So I Played Along

I'm Makin' Some Noise I'm Still A Working Boy
Up At The Top Of My Voice
Sayin' "Look At Me Mama I'm Makin' Some Noise"
I'm Makin' Some Noise, I Been A Long Gone Boy
