Playin' a pavilion on the outskirts of town Playin' where my roller derby rolls. Just a part time music man A nobody at the plant I'm Tearin' Up The Country with a song. Mom and Papa told me "Son you gotta go to school; Only way to make the fam'ly proud" Ha I paid no attention left my books at home Rather play my music real loud. Tearin' Up The Country with a song. Tearin' Up The Country with a song. I paid no attention left my books at home Rather play my music real loud. Play it now! Tearin' Up The Country with a song. Tearin' Up The Country with a song. I paid no attention left my books at home Rather play my music real loud. Ran into a dry spell seemed nowhere to go. Good luck turned the tide I'm on my way. I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer was hot You know I could still be there but I'm not. Tearin' Up The Country with a song. Tearin' Up The Country with a song.
