Lyrics
SON OF A GUN
(Chorus)
Well I?m a son of a gun, each and every way
I?m a son of a gun, I got people sayin?
I?m a son of a gun, just livin? for today
I?m a son of a gun and I hope my son
will be a son of a gun, cause what could be more fun
than bein? a son of a gun each and every day
(Verse)
Mischief seems to have a way of findin? me
I don?t need no help from anyone
all I know is the trouble I find
it?s the kind of trouble you don?t mind
so I work hard to live up to my name
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Verse)
My wife couldn?t understand the way I am
so she left me and the boy to carry on
that?s right, I?m in charge
so me and the boy are livin? large
we gotta? reputation to maintain
we gotta? live up to our family name
(Chorus)
