One of the first gigs that I ever played Out of all places Was at my brother's fraternity house in Norman For some philanthropy event And you see my twelve-year-old self at the time Decided to go on stage and intro one of the ballads by saying "This is for all of the people who have ****** me over" At twelve-years-old I can only imagine how long that list was After the show My mom pulled me aside with like True catholic anger in her eyes Red in the face You know whole nine-yards And she said "Listen men don't talk like that boys do And I am raising you to be a man" And of course she was right And I think I hated most that I disappointed her She stopped smoking the year I was born But anytime I think of that story I always picture her with a Virginia slim in her hand It was her favorite smoke
