Charlie Parr - Public Record Rag lyrics

Well my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long My mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long She gonna read about the gun and the stolen car Gonna read about the man in the liquor store Well my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long Well she never seen my name in print Never seen my face on the TV Didn't want me to come over to her house For coffee or by tea She called me a bum Said I'm nothing but a tramp Wouldn't let my in the front She'd throw me out the back Now my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long There's a tale about how I went into that store And walked right into the door How the counterman smiled and said get lost And pulled out a .44 But I grabbed that gun and I shot him first He fell on the floor shaking and pissin That gonna be that told that tale, gonna tell em bout it all day long Well my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long My mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long She gonna read about the gun and the stolen car Gonna read about the man in the liquor store Well my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long Well I took all the money and a little booze And the keys to that man's car Car was a beater, wouldn't go very fast Wasn't long before it stalled So I hopped abord a city bus Bound for the center of town Now my mama gonna read about this Gonna read about it all day long Well my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long My mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long Gonna read about the man in the liquor store Well my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long That bus cut it short about 3rd and Maine And would not go no more Cops told the driver to open the door So they could come abord I was climbing out the window in the back of the bus When I felt someone grab my feet Ah there's something she can read about See my big face on the TV Yeah my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long Yeah my mama gonna read about me She gonna read about me all day long She gonna read about the gun and the stolen car Gonna read about that man in the liquor store I tell ya my mama gonna read about me
