Turned My Head Around

When I was very young
My daddy took me on his knees
Son, there some things I wanna learn you
Before you get away from me

Don't let nobody boss you much
And keep your money clean
Treat a woman like lady
And your lady like a queen

But I didn't know what he was talking about
I didn't know what he was trying to say
'Till I got out in this mean old world
And you can turn my head around the other way

When I was 18
A lady picked me up from off of the Street
She put a new suit on by back
And new boots on my feet

Said, "Thank you, kind lady
What do you want in return?"
She said, "Young man, put yourself in my hands
And you're damn sure gonna learn?

But I didn't know what she was talking about
I didn't know what she was trying to say
'Till she took me in the bathroom
And she turned my head around the other way

Right along about this time
The [Incomprehensible]
It was about the time that I turn 21
I thought that I was bad

Then I cussed out this old man
Down here in the beer joint late one night
He said, "Son, if you wanna talk, you talk
But if you wanna fight, let's fight"

But I didn't know what he was talking about
I didn't know what he was trying to say
'Till he took me out in the parking lot
And he turned my head around the other way

'Till he took me out in the parking lot
He turned my head around the other way
