Further than I'd ever been away from home
 Then my daddy stopped the car, and he turned to me
 He said, "Son it's time to make us proud of you,
 It's time to do what's right
 Gonna have to learn to work hard"
 I said, "Work?  What are you talking about?
 You're not gonna leave me here, are you?"
 He said "Yes I am!"
 And drove off into the morning light

 For a while I stood there, on the sidewalk
 A Roy Rogers lunch pail in my hand
 Then I heard sweet children's voices calling
 And I began to understand
 They said, "Four eyes!  Look like you're still sleeping!"
 "Four eyes!  Look like you're dead!"
 "Four eyes!  Where have you been keeping yourself?"
 "Look like you been whupped upside the head
