Bad Axe

Bad Axe performed by Son Seals
From the album Son Seals, Deluxe Edition

Father said,"Son, go to school; learn all you can"
"To make it into the world today, you got to be a hell of a man"
"You can't pick no more cotton, you can't shine no more shoes"
"You can't even work at a car wash"
"So you might as well play the blues"

Now don't give me no computer, I can't do a damn thing with it
They gave me an executive job, you know, the very next day I quit it
I'd rather hang around a honky tonk and be up and down the bar
So put me on the bandstand
And give me my guitar

I don't want to be no president, 'cause that's too heavy for me
I just want to play my guitar for the world to see
My cowboy boots and my Stetson hat
A Fender Twin behind me, now
And hand me my bad axe
