I was up the road on easy street Watching everybody stand around and cheat A man comes up and says "move along Down to the corner where you belong" But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
I hear the city singing like a siren choir Some fool tried to set this town on fire Tv preacher screams "come on along" I feel like fay wray face to face with king kong But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
Sometimes i wonder what i am I feel like i'm living in a hologram It doesn't seem to matter what's right or wrong Everybody's grabbing and coming on strong But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
