Tom Paxton - Presbyterian Boy lyrics

I've been drinkin' a little too much I've been accused of loosin' my touch And if I'm going to be totally honest I've been goin' crutch to crutch A mama's pride and joy Another Presbyterian boy Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb I've been makin' some silly mistakes I've been blowin' some pretty good breaks And if you wanna hear all there is I'm a-wonderin' what in the world it takes For a mama's pride and joy Another Presbyterian boy Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb Oh Lord, I get the feelin' Sittin' here spinnin' my wheels Gettin' nowhere at all In record time Just in case you wonder How the situation feels It's nickle and dime Only nickle and dime I've been lettin' it slip away Losin' it day by day Now all my friends are shakin' their heads And wonderin' what in the world to say To a mama's pride and joy Another Presbyterian boy Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb Oh Lord, I get the feelin' I'm sittin' here spinnin' my wheels Gettin' nowhere at all In record time Just in case you wonder How the situation feels Just nickle and dime Only nickle and dime I've been lettin' it slip away I've been losin' it day by day Now all my friends are shakin' their heads And wonderin' what in the world to say To a mama's pride and joy Another Presbyterian boy Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb
