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.
