Outfit

You want to grow up to paint houses like me
 A trailer in my yard 'til you're 23
 You want to be old after 42 years
 Keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears
 Well, I used to go out in a Mustang
 A 302 Mach One, in green
 Me and your mama made you in the back
 And I sold it to buy her a ring
 And I learned not to say much of nothing
 So, I figured you already know
 But in case you don't or maybe forgot
 I'll lay it out real nice and slow
 Don't call what you're wearing an outfit
 Don't ever say your car is broke
 Don't worry about losing your accent
 A southern man tells better jokes
 Have fun, 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
 Five years 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
 And I went back to painting for my old man
 And I guess that's what I'll always do
 So don't let 'em take 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 you're 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
