Six months in a St. Florian foundry, they call it Industrial Park. 
Then hospital maintenance and Tech School just to memorize Frigidaire parts. 
But I got to missing your Mama and I got to missing you too. 
So I went back to painting for my old man and I guess that's what I'll always do 

So don't try to change who you are boy, and don't try to be who you ain't. 
And don't let me catch you in Kendale with a bucket of wealthy-man's paint. 

Don't call what your wearing an outfit. Don't ever say your car is broke. 
Don't sing with a fake British accent. Don't act like your family's a joke. 
Have fun, but stay clear of the needle, call home on your sister's birthday. 
Don't tell them you're bigger than Jesus, Don't give it away. 

Don't give it away.
