When I was a young boy, I was working for the stateI wasn't making much money, I was staying out lateI'd go down at night time, play music in the barsTake my brakes out, underneath the starsI was making some noise, I was a working boyUp at the top of the voice, saying look at me mama, I'm making some noiseI had to rock the boat, I had to shake the treeTo see what fall, down on meI thought maybe I could make it, if I never give inI've been down before, I ain't going down againI'm making some noiseI've been a worried boyUp at the top of the voice, saying look at me mama, I'm making some noiseFrom across the canyonA guitar playerA bassThrough an amplifierA love delayThere was an old melodyI recognized the songI had an amplifier tooSo I played alongI'm making some noiseI'm still a working boyUp at the top of the voice, saying look at me mama, I'm making some noiseI had an amplifierI'm making some noiseI've been a long gone boyAt the top of my voiceSay it literally, mamaI'm making some noiseI'm making some noiseI'm making some noiseI'm making some noise
