Playin' a pavilion on the outskirts of town,   Playin' where my roller derby rolls.   Just a part time music man, A nobody at the plant,   I'm Tearin' Up The Country with a song.       Mom and Papa told me "Son, you gotta go to school;   Only way to make the fam'ly proud."   I paid no attention, left my books at home,   Rather play my music real loud.      Tearin' Up The Country with a song.   Tearin' Up The Country with a song.   I paid no attention, left my books at home,   Rather play my music real loud.      Play it loud, now! Woo!      Tearin' Up The Country with a song.   Tearin' Up The Country with a song.   I paid no attention, left my books at home,   Rather play my music real loud.       Ran into a dry spell, seemed nowhere to go.   Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way.   I remember loadin' big trucks    When the summer sun was hot,   You know I could still be there, but I'm not.      Tearin' Up The Country with a song.   Tearin' Up The Country with a song.   I remember loadin' big trucks    When the summer sun was hot,   You know I could still be there, but I'm not.      Tearin' Up The Country with a song.   I'm tearin' Up The Country with a song.   I remember loadin' big trucks    When the summer sun was hot,   You know I could still be there, but I'm not.
