They say he came out singing the moment he was born
And he could pick that old flat top guitar like a farmer pickin' corn
And he'd sneak in those old honky tonks until they'd kick him out
And his daddy wonder how he learned all the stuff he sang about
CHORUS
He sang songs about dogs
Songs about drinking
Songs about mama's and trains
Songs about heart broke country boys
Standin' out in the rain
Songs about dancehall beauty queens
Worth geting into a fight
Songs about nothing better to do
Songs about saturday night
When he turned 18 he went off to the war
