[Verse 1] Man, I was in a place Called Keeprunnin', Mississippi one time And I heard someone on my way back Sounded a little something like raw funk to me So I slowed down and took a listen And this is all I could hear, baby [Hook] Whoa-hah-hey Whoa-hah-ha [Verse 2] It got so good to me, man, that I stopped runnin' My feet was tired anyhow So I reached in my inside pocket
And got my harp out Sit down by old beat-up railroad train And get me, get myself a little of that old funky thang [Vocal harmonica interpolation] Can you all feel what I mean? This is what you call way back younger funk [Hook] [Outro] Say it loud - I'm funky and I'm proud Say it loud - I'm funky and I'm proud Say it loud - I'm funky and I'm proud I'm aging Old funk
