When I was a young boy. I was workin' for the state. I wasn't makin' much money. I was stayin' out late. Go down at nighttime and. Play music in the bars. Take my breaks out underneath the stars. I was makin' some noise. I was a workin' boy up at the top of my voice. Sayin' "Look at me mama I'm makin' some noise". I had to rock the boat I had to shake the tree. To see what'd fall down on me. I thought "Maybe I can make it if I never give in. I been down before I ain't goin' down again". I'm makin' some noise. I been a worried boy up at the top of my voice. Sayin' "Look at me mama I'm makin' some noise". From across the canyon a guitar plays. Through an amplifier on long delay. It was an old melody I recognized the song. I had an amplifier too so I played along. I'm makin' some noise I'm still a working boy. Up at the top of my voice. Sayin' "Look at me mama I'm makin' some noise". I'm makin' some noise I been a long gone boy
