Back On My Feet Lyrics - Al Kooper

Kooper 

Now I've had a hard life 

I been through two wives 

And I've lived where the rats run wild 

But now I'm much better and I'm writin' this letter 

Just to tell you 'bout your baby child 

So Ma, I been busy and I know you've missed me 

So I'm writin' this letter to you 

I knows it's been ten years but save up those sad tears 

Mama let me tell ya whets new 

Look at me I'm back on my feet 

Pulled myself right outa the street 

So glad to be back on my feet right now 

I'm gettin' smiles from the people I meet

Wontcha tell me bout Dad now 

Is he still doin' bad now 

Workin in the same drugstore 

Lookin' for praise now 

Did he ever get that raise now 

He's been waitin twenty years for 

And poor brother Billy is he still so silly 

Livin with that girl crosstown 

Livin off her job 

I still love that poor slob 

Tell him someday I'll be round 

Look at me I'm back on my feet 

Pulled myself right outa the street 

So glad to be back on my feet right now 

I'm gettin' smiles from the people I meet 

So glad to be back on my feet

Well I married this girl she was a rich girl 

Took her checkbook & a fountain pen 

Wrote my name so fast now 

Knew my luck couldn't last now 

I wrote myself three years in the pen 

So I prayed to the Saviour 

Got a year off for good behavior 

Read the Bible so I'd understand 

Now I'm workin' steady & I'm married to Betty 

Doin' my best to be her good lovin' man 

Mama so long now I know I was wrong now 

Not to write in such a long long while 

But I'll save some money and you won't think it's funny 

If I put you & Dad up in style 

Look at me I'm back on my feet 

Pulled myself right outa the street 

So glad to be back on my feet right now 

I'm gettin' smiles from the people I meet 

Don't have to worry bout nothin' to eat 

Now doncha think it's kinda neat 

Ya know I pulled myself right up by the seat 

Of my pants 

Look at me I'm back on my feet
