My mama told me not to play this
My daddy said it’s rock and roll
You’d better get some education
I’m breaking away

They said there’s nothing here for you son
We’re so afraid you will be gone
Like buddy holly in his airplane
I’m breaking away

Ah ah ah yeah yeah now
Oh oh oh no no no

I said give me a little more time
So you will see what I can do
They said okay well you go on then
I’m breaking away

They’ve seen me making this music
They thought: oh, what a lot of noise
But then they thought well he is young
And he’s breaking away

Ah ah ah yeah yeah now
Oh oh oh no no no

At home I’ve got a golden record
I think it’s hanging on the wall
My face has been on television
I’m breaking away

My mother says well you are great son
My father likes the thing I do
They’re proud on me having this fun
I’m breaking away

Ah ah ah yeah yeah now
Oh oh oh no no no
