They came this mornin' with a dog on a chain
They came and took my little brother away
His generation never even got a name


My momma was a rocker way back in '53
Buys them old records that they sell on T.V.

I know Chuck Berry wasn't singin' that to me

Chorus

Momma,
That's all right, it's your world
Hey this is my life

She's my girl
My life/your world


I watch that fortune wheel
But never get to spin it
You made me promises, I don't think you meant it

If there's some sunshine baby
I'm gonna get out in it - oh yeah


(Repeat Chorus)

I tried to leave, but the traffic had been stopped

The beach was burnin', and someone was
Throwin' rocks -
They said an airplane had

Fallen on my block

(Repeat Chorus)
