When I turn twenty-one   I'm gonna make a change   Turn my back on what I was   Make you proud of what I'm not      If it's my life why tear it down   And make me feel this way   I do the best with what I've got   Why do you tear it down?      Mama's not talkin' now   Dad, he's fallen off the track   Sister's on a rampage and brother   He's plannin' his silent attack      My family's up and moved away   They couldn't stand the heat   Why build a house just to burn it down   Another love torn mystery      You take a nickel and a spoon   And a crooked lover's tune   Might not add up to much at all   Just a nickel and a spoon      Mama's not talkin' now   Dad, he's fallen off the track   Sister's on a rampage and brother   He's plannin' his silent attack      When I turn twenty-one   I'm gonna make a change   Turn my back on what I was   And make you proud of what I'm not      But mama's not talkin' now   Dad, he's fallen off the track   Sister's on a rampage and brother   He's plannin' his silent attack
