Lyrics

Mama always told us what was right
And daddy always knew how to start a fight
I was only two foot three inch tall
I didn't mind him actin' that way at all
It didn't seem to bother me at all

Now and then I wanna go out and play
I have to ask my dad if it would be ok
I'll never forget the words I heard him say
Oh he said

These days ain't made for playin' boy
With guns and rides, oh, a bundle of joy
We'll just try and make it anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway we can

When I woke my feet were dead and cold
And through the night I found my bed had rolled
All around me the stench of sin was strong
I knew I would give in before too long
It was always about this time my dad would sing his song
About the world and how we had gone wrong
And he said

These days ain't made for playin' boy
With guns and rides, oh, a bundle of joy
We'll just try and make it out here anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway we can
Anyway we can

Mama always knew when we were outta luck
Knew when everybody was strapped for a buck
I could always see when we had to move on
About this time I think it's goin' on
It's time for us, to move right on
It's time for my old dad to sing his song
Listen to him now as he goes on
Come on now my people and sing along
Oh he said

These days ain't made for playin' boy
With guns and rides, oh, a bundle of joy
We'll just try and make it anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway we can
Make it out here anyway we can
Anyway we can, anyway I can
Anyway I can
