  • Verse 1
    See, 
    when I was 
    a kid growing 
    up, I 
    used to 
    be kind of mixed up 
    about my mom, 

    you know. 

    I mean, she 
    was so sweet and everything, 

    except when I did something 
    wrong, you know. 

    And, uh, 
    you know what I'm talking about. 

    I used to get really mixed up because 
    I watched 

    TV, you 
    know, 

    and mothers on 
    television never 
    acted like 

    real mothers. 

    You what I'm talking 
    about? 

    You 
    know, on 

    TV, you know, when 
    kids do things wrong, 

    you ever notice? 

    They never do anything 

    to them, man. 

    All they ever say 
    is, 

    young 
    man go to 
    your room. 

    Go 
    to your room. 
    I don't know about you 

    guys, but my 

    mother never 
    said that to me when 

    I did something 
    wrong. 

    When 
    I did something 

    that was 
    really wrong, 

    she'd look at me and 
    say, I 
    brought you into this 
    world, 

    I'll take you 
    out. 

    We're talking violence 
    on 

    TV, 
    they never met 

    my mother, you know 
    what I mean? 

    You 

    ever notice too, 
    when mothers get really 

    mad, they don't talk 
    normal either? 

    David 

    Meeks, 
    do you understand 
    what I 

    am trying 
    to 
    say to 
    you? 

    Are you listening 
    to 
    me? 

    Oh! 

    Look at 
    this 
    room! 

    Look 
    at this 
    room! 

    I'm looking 
    at him, I'm looking at 

    him, I'm looking at 
    him. 

    got clothes 
    all over the floor, 

    but that way I don't get the 
    carpet dirty. 

    Watch your 
    step though, mom. 

    There's a cat down 
    there. I know there's 

    a cat under there somewhere. 

    That's 
    my brother 

    Dwayne. 

    Come 
    on out, 

    Dwayne. 

    You've been down there three days, man. 


    See, my brother wasn't 

    much help either, you know. 

    He was three years 
    older 
    than I was, 

    and 
    he's the one that corrupted 

    me. 

    You see, my mother 
    had a lot of rules around 
    the house, 

    you know, and you 
    just didn't break those things, 

    you know, unless 
    you wanted to be 

    turned back to dust or 
    something and 

    I'd be 
    real careful you know. 

    Well he and 

    had an agreement going 
    where he wouldn't tell on me if 

    I wouldn't tell on him you 

    know 
    when we did something wrong 

    you know. 

    We figured we'd both live 
    longer 

    that way. 

    You see one of those rules 
    my mom had to do 

    with the kind of music you 

    listen 
    to. 

    See my 
    mother didn't want anything but classical 

    music in 
    the 

    house. 

    She didn't want any 
    of that rock stuff 

    or that beat. 
    not gonna have that in my 
    house. 

    Not 
    gonna have any of that country western 

    garbage either. 

    For years I 

    thought that was 
    the name of the music, 

    Country 

    Western 

    Garbage, 
    you know. 

    A guy said 
    he liked country western music. 


    I said, oh, you like 
    garbage, oh. 

    Got my 
    jaw handed to me. 

    Now, we didn't 
    even have any religious 

    records 

    in the house 
    or gospel music, you know, 


    unless it was written by 

    Bach, 

    Brahms, or 

    Beethoven, 

    and I couldn't 
    really get 

    into that. 

    You know, it was all 
    in 

    German, you know. 

    Ach, 

    Striefe, 

    Streich. 

    Sounded like somebody with 

    sinus trouble to 
    me. 

    was in there practicing 
    the piano one time, 

    and I 
    saw my brother 

    Dwayne coming 
    in the 

    house. 

    You see, there's 
    something about 

    Dwayne you've got to realize. 

    My 
    brother 

    Dwayne never 
    came in 
    the side door of the house 

    unless he was smuggling 
    something 

    in. 

    He shouldn't, you know. 

    Did 
    you know 
    that he 
    had in 

    his possession 

    Beatle record? 

    said, man, 
    do 
    you want 
    to die? 

    He took me 
    into the back room and he played me 

    some of it. 

    And I've got to kind 

    of admit, you know, I kind of liked 
    it too. 

    You see, 
    we had a problem 
    then. 

    because 
    we could only play 
    it when my mother was out of 

    the house. 

    Of you could always 
    tell when my mother left 

    the house because she 
    had a bad muffler. 

    And 
    we're not just talking your average, 

    everyday bad 
    muffler either, 
    gang. 

    You we're talking bad 
    muffler. 

    You know what I mean? 

    mean, walls 
    would shake, buildings 

    would collapse, mothers 
    would take children 
    off 

    the streets. 

    You we're talking bad 
    muffler, 

    okay? 

    So the way we'd work 
    our music is very 
    simple, 

    you see. 

    I'd be in there practicing 
    my 

    Mozart. 



    And 
    I'd 
    hear my mother 
    driv
    ing off, 

    you know. 


    20 
    years 
    ago 
    today, 

    Sgt. 

    Pepper 
    taught the 
    band 
    to play, 

    and 
    my brother'd 
    come in, 
    he'd 

    say, 
    is 
    mama 
    gone? 

    said, I 
    wouldn't 
    be singing 

    this 
    if she was 
    here, ner
    d. 

    So 
    he said, 
    why 
    we sing 
    together, 

    know, until 
    we'd hear her 
    coming back, 
    you 

    know? 






    Should I say, 
    what a nice 
    young man? 

    Look 
    at my brother and 
    say, why can't 

    you be more 
    like your little 
    brother? 

    there. 

    And he'd 
    always say, 
    am.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
