Title: Bluegrass Lyrics - Your mama didn't raise no idiot

Bluegrass Songs - Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Your mama didn't raise no idiot 
Now I'm just a simple guy, not very smart you see I never got much learning, never won a spelling bee But I've always yearned for the big bright lights and to be a big star on broadway And I made up my mind a long time ago that I'd be right there someday Oh, they said I couln't do it, but I did it And I said to myself, I said self Your mama didn't raise no idiot 
I remember when I'se in my teens I used to work the farm I plowed a mule from dawn til dark, never done nobody no harm Then one weekend the mule got stuborn when I wanted to ride him to town My daddy said son, you wanta get his attention, why don't you knock him down Pap didn't think I'd do it but I did it And I said to myself, I said self Your mama didn't raise no idiot 
Then later on I bought a car, my troubles really begin I guss I've spent a million bucks and traded a thousand time since then A real smart man then put me wise, since then my life's been gay He said open a used car lot and driver a different one every day He didn't think I'd do it, but I did it And I said to myself, I said self Your mama didn't raise no idiot
