  • Well my mama told me: son you better watch out
    All those nasty woman gonna rip you dime for dime
    But I got my pocket full of real tales, and a broken guitar mode, guitar mode
    And the story keep on rollin', out from a sad man's tongue

    Left my mama and papa's nest
    I got the fever rambling my bones
    Papa said: my boy, take my Johnny Cash vinyls and go
    Well I got my pocket full of real tales, and a broken guitar mode, guitar mode
    And the story keep on rollin', out from a sad man's tongue

    Strollin' down the highway with uncle Sam roaring: rebel kid get your ass home
    Your ass belongs to me
    Leave your Johnny Cash songs and get home
    But I got my pocket full of real tales, and a broken guitar mode, guitar mode
    And the story keep on rollin', out from a sad man's tongue

    Singing in the cell 1.40.9.5
    No way should I wear guns, I'm sitting my time

    Left 1.40.9.5 with plenty rock'n'roll songs painting the road
    Education sucks, so I sing my song for you

    And I got my pocket full of real tales
    And a broken guitar mode, guitar mode
    And the story keep on rollin' out from a sad man's tongue Writer/s: MICHAEL POULSEN
