Daddy said [A]the only dud
in the family was [D]me
He [G]said â??Boy you

[Verse 3]

You set around with that silly
looking guitar and sing
You [C]hang around them juke
[G]joints all the time
Making [A]mu sic like some wild
man done [D]lost his mind

[Verse 4]
[G]Sock it to me
Well what's that supposed to mean
Boy you [C]just a wild[G][C][G]
[C][A][D][G]

[Verse 5]
Well then one day daddy [G]told me
â??Boy I've had enough

So I [C]left home and organized
[G]myself a band
Called my[A]self the Alabama wild [D]man

[Verse 6]
Well [G]I worked all them joints
from the east to the west
Never making no money
and a-starving to [C]to death
A-living on on coffee and cold [G]sardines
[A]Soda crackers and pork n beans
[D]But

[Verse 7]
I [G]fi nally went to Music City USA
Said I'm the Alabama wild man
and I'm here to stay
Took my [C]guitar and showed
â??em what I'm [G]talking about
So we made a [A]little record
and we put it [D]out
With me going Sock [G]it

Play that guitar

[G]Well now I'm driving the Cadillacs
a city block long

do no wrong
â??Cause I'm [C]selling them records
And I'm [G]working them shows
And people [A]love me everywhere I go

[Verse 10]
[D]But a fun[G]ny thing happened
about a week or so back
I was a showing my home town
and the place was packed
[C]Guess who was sitting on
the [G]front row seat
Was my [A]daddy grinning up
at me [D]batting at me

[Verse 11]
[G]Yelling
â??Sock it your daddy wild man
Hook it boy, hook it
Play that guitar [C]show â??em son
