Alabama Wild Man Lyrics - Singles - Nat Stuckey

Now my daddy was a hard shelled Alabama preacher 

My mama was a dedicated a Sunday School teacher 

My brother went a college and got a PHD 

Daddy said the only dud in the family was me 

He said boy you ain't never gonna amount to a thing 

All you do is sit around with that silly looking guitar and sing 

You hang around them joke joints most of your time 

Making music like some wild man done lost his mind 

Going uh hook it now what's that s'posed to mean boy 

And sock it to me you're just a wild man boy 

Well one day my daddy told me boy I've had enough 

Now you can pack up that guitar and you can just pack up your stuff 

So I left with my guitar and organized me a band 

Called myself the Alabama Wild Man 

Well I worked in every joint from New York City to Gulf 

Singing songs for pennies never making enough 

Many nights I lived on coffee and cold sardines sody crackers and pork and beans 

But friends I finally went to Music City USA 

Said I'm the Alabama Wild Man folks I'm here to stay 

Took my guitar and showed 'em what I's talkin' about 

So we made a little record and we put it out 

With me going uh hook it hook it boy hook it again 

Sock it to that guitar 

Well now I'm driving cadillacs a city block long 

And the Alabama Wild Man can do no wrong 

Cause I'm selling them records I'm working those shows 

And people love me everywhere I go 

But friends a funny thing happened bout a week or so back 

I worked a show in my hometown and the place was packed 

And I guess who was sittin' out on a front row seat 

Was my daddy grinnin' up at me and pattin' his feet 

Sayin' sock it to your daddy's wild man 

Hook it son hook it play that guitar boy show 'em 

Yeah that's my boy up there alright taught him everything he knows 

Bought him his guitar hook it son sock it to me
