| [00:06.90] |
Never had much for teaching when I was a kid in school |
| [00:09.52] |
I barely learned to read 'n write but don't think I'm no fool |
| [00:13.90] |
But please excuse me for scribblin', |
| [00:15.14] |
I can barely write my name |
| [00:20.47] |
Quit school at seventeen, |
| [00:22.14] |
and I ain't the slightest bit ashame, no not ashame. |
| [00:27.76] |
Teacher tried to tell me boy you'll never get nowhere |
| [00:31.24] |
I never got to college but I sure got into here |
| [00:34.63] |
But please excuse me for scribblin', |
| [00:37.50] |
I can barely write my name |
| [00:41.91] |
And if I did it all again I swear I'd do it all just the same. |
| [00:47.18] |
Not a thing would change. |
| [01:33.57] |
You think you got an education boy, |
| [01:35.47] |
you know I got one too |
| [01:37.38] |
Got the kind o' education that you can't get in no school |
| [01:40.49] |
But please excuse me for scribblin', |
| [01:42.88] |
I can barely write my name |
| [01:47.81] |
And if I did it all again I swear I'd do it all just the same. |
| [01:53.13] |
Not a thing would change. |
| [01:55.64] |
Readin' and writin' never took it through to me |
| [01:59.70] |
But when it came to makin' love I learned my ABC |
| [02:02.32] |
So please excuse me for scribblin', |
| [02:04.79] |
I can barely write my name |
| [02:09.66] |
And if I did it all again I swear I'd do it all just the same. |
| [02:14.94] |
Not a thing would change. |
| [02:16.50] |
(Take it home Scotty) |
