Sit Down, Boy

It's a way of growing up in the South....maybe anywhere you live with low expectations.

sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest
sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest

sit down boy, shut your mouth
take a back seat you're from the south
close your eyes don't say a word
don't give a [bad word] what you just heard
pick up your gun head for the woods
some of them boys up to no good

*sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest
sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest

got mama in the kitchen with her hands in the sink
she ain't sayin' what she thinks
watchin' them boys just cuttin' the fool
she wasn't born with a silver spoon
drinkin and fightin is a way of life
she ain't ever questioned why

I said
*sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest
sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest

he grew up mean in a tumbledown shack
he get away he [bad word] #39; back
bein' different will get you killed
passin' for stupid is a useful skill
got big dreams he ain't told no one
always starin' down the barrel of a gun

I said
*sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest
sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest

Sit down boy shut your mouth
take a backseat you're from the south

*sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest
sit down boy
sit down boy
sit down boy
take a little rest.
