Auntie Pearl's House - Golden Rules

Working the fields the whole yard

Out in the sun it’s so hot

Singing a tune to move on

Dat’s how it is, it is lord

Everybody wanna be buddy from the hood with a Chevrolet grill

But nobody wanna do thangs dude did just to get where he is

Raised on a old dirt road front yard with railroad tracks

Snotty nose kid, booger nose drinking outta water hose like that

Sho’nuff, oh why?

There’s a lotta wrong things in my life

Turn up turn down

Yesterday is yesterday and no doubt

Hey hey hey…

Only had one TV bunk bed with a broke box spring

Shared a bathroom, toilet tissue got wet let it dry on the sink

Bought a loaf bread, mildew on the end we ain’t even much complain

Got a couple pots on the living room floor momma said it might rain

You ain’t think it no joke

Collard green, stems split peas for the pork

Soaking in the kitchen on the table with the wood cutting board

Playing Al Green from the radio

Daddy had dreams but he never did know

How to provide for a whole household

2 or 3 dogs and cat and small junk yard, fed them for he even fed his own

Working the fields the whole yard

Out in the sun it’s so hot

Singing a tune to move on

Dat’s how it is it is lord
