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 A Long Delay

It Was An Ol D 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
