Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
Now [G]my[C][A]
[D]dad[G]dy was a
hard -shelled Alabama preacher
My mama was a dedicated
Sunday school teacher
My [C]brother went to college
and got a Ph [G].D.
Daddy [A]said the only dud
in the family [D]was me
He [G]said, boy,
you ain't never gonna mount to a thing
All you do is sit around
with that silly -lookin' guitar and sing
You [C]hang around them juke joints
[G]most of your time
Making mu[A]sic like some wild man
done [D]lost his mind
[G]Goin', hook it!
Now what's that supposed to mean,
boy?
And sock it to me
You just a wild [A]man, [G]boy[C][A][D][G]
Well, one day my daddy told me,
boy, I've had enough
Now you pack up that guitar,
or you just pack up your stuff
So [C]I left with my guitar
and I organ[G]ized me a band
Called [A]myself the Alabama Wild[D]man
Well, [G]I worked in every joint
from New York to the Gulf
Singin' songs and pennies,
never makin' enough
Many night[C]s I lived on coffee
and [G]cold sardines
Soda crack[A]ers and pork and [D]beans
But [G]friends, I finally went
to Music City, USA
Said, I'm the Alabama Wildman,
folks, and I'm here to stay
[C]Took my guitar and I showed them
what [G]I was talkin' about
So we [A]made a little record
and we put it [D]out
With me go[G]ing, ooh, hook it, hook it, boy
Hook it again,
sock it to that [C]guitar[A][D][G]
Now I'm drivin' me a Cadillac,
a city block lawn
And an Alabama wild man
can't do no wrong
Cause I'm [C]a -sellin' them records
and I'm workin' [G]them shows
And people [A]love me everywhere I [D]go
But [G]friends,
a funny thing happened about a week or so back
I played a show in my hometown
and the place was packed
And [C]guess who was sittin' out
on the front [G]row seat
Was my [A]daddy, grinnin' up at me
and pat[D]tin' his feet, sayin'
[G]Sock it to your daddy, wild man
Hook it, hook it
Play a guitar, son!
Show them!
Yeah, that's my boy alright
Taught him everything he knows
Bought him his first guitar
Okay, son
Get them checks comin' in
We're gonna pay for the drive next week
