Makin' Some Noise

When I was a young boy

I was workin' for the state

I wasn't makin' much money

I was stayin' out late

Might go down at nighttime

Played music in the bars

Take my breaks out

Underneath the stars

I was makin' some noise

I was a workin' boy

Up at the top of my voice

Sayin',"Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise"

I had to rock the boat, I had to shake the tree

To see what'd fall, down on me

I thought "Maybe I can make it if I never give in

I been down before, I ain't goin' down again"

I'm makin' some noise

I been a worried boy

Up at the top of my voice

Sayin',"Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise"

From across the canyon a guitar plays

Through an amplifier on a long delay

It was an old melody, I recognized the song

I had an amplifier too, so I played along

I'm makin' some noise

I'm still a working boy

At the top of my voice

Sayin',"Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise"

I'm makin' some noise

I been a long gone boy

At the top of my voice

Sayin',"Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise"

I'm makin' some noise

I'm makin' some noise
