COREY STORY by Tom Jensen
His mama was a nurse
and his daddy sold jewels
A couple hard working stiffs
But both were fools
If the boys got outta line
parents kept their cool
They'd never make a fuss
just leave 'em to the school
Too busy working
to have to raise kids
Right there ya find out
where the problem is
When little boys break the rules
daddy's too drunk to yell
He tried to chase 'em
up the stairs
but down he fell
When you make your own rules
how hard can life be?
Mom's sitting on the couch
just watching TV
Yet it takes more to be a mom
than just making dinner
Gotta teach your kids to play
the game of life to be a winner
All you need's a @#$% to be a father
but it takes balls to be a dad
I wish they read this story
I really wish they had
I always tried to use my brain
while my friend he used his brawn
Now I got it made
While my friend barely gets along
His daddy read him beer bottles
while my daddy read me books
When life gets ugly
you can't get by on looks
Me and my daddy
played throw and catch
Him and his daddy
played throw and duck
When life gets ugly
you can't get by on looks
When you got no smarts
you get by on luck
And when that runs out
it really sucks
