  • Mama look out yonder comin down the road
    Well it looks to me to be half a mile or so
    His guitar strapped across his back, it's everything he owns
    Mama look out yonder comin' down the road

    Daddy always said he had the makings of a fool
    He wouldn't listen to a word and he's broken every rule
    But he had the good sense to turn around and come back home
    And mama look out yonder comin' down the road

    He's a winner, he's a loser, he's a picker, he's a chooser
    He's a mover, he's a shaker, he's a giver, he's a taker
    He has no use for silver 'cause his heart's as pure as gold
    Mama look out yonder comin' down the road

    All he ever needed were the clothes upon his back
    He never gave a tinkers damn and we'll damn sure give him that
    He always chose the rows he hoed and he carried his own load
    Mama look out yonder comin' down the road

    He's a winner, he's a loser, he's a picker, he's a chooser
    He's a mover, he's a shaker, he's a giver, he's a taker
    He has no use for silver cause his heart's as pure as gold
    Mama look out yonder comin' down the road Writer/s: EARL BUD LEE
