Hayes Carll - Stomp and Holler lyrics

Little Johnny caught a bullet last night
Running from the guitar store
He took a left down the alley
Guess he should've gone right
Now he ain't takin' nothing no more, no more

Everybody knows it's a hard time
Living with hate and the greed
Most folks earn what they get for a living
Others gotta steal what they need
Down on the corner, already talking
How they're gonna cut that take
I'm out here just working for a dollar
All I wanna do is stomp and holler

Eighteen years, eighteen years
That's a long-old time to be
Sittin' face down stoned in the alley
Wonderin' how to get to that shining sea

Everybody knows it's a hard time
Living on the minimum wage
Some people just gon' sneak on through
Others gotta rattle that cage
One of these days, I'm gonna find my way
Or else just disappear
I'm out here in the filth and squalor
All I wanna do is stomp and holler

Rock and roll, ache and moan
Listen to the young girls scream
Every time I get a little bit lucky
I've got to wake up from a poor man's dream

Heaven only knows how we get there
After all the trouble and strife
From all I've seen you only get one shot
At what you're gonna do in this life
Ah what the hell, I guess I might as well
Take a chance and try my way
I'm like James Brown only white and taller
All I wanna do is stomp and holler

I'm like James Brown only white and taller
All I wanna do is stomp and holler
Lord, I wanna stomp and holler
