Lyrics:

                                                  
 Raise A Fool
                                   w/m billy jim baker bmi

Son, go get, round up your brothers
It's time my boys had a sit down with their mother
There's a lot of life
You won't get down, or touch in school
So much to learn
And your mama, will not raise a fool

Here's what I expect of you when you're grown
Never neglect who you love, always take care of your own
There's a lot of life
That's vicious & cruel
And wishes hardly ever come true
And your mama, will not raise a fool

IF YOU TAKE THE BALL, DON'T DROP IT
ESCAPE PREACHERS, POLITICIANS AND PROPHETS
BE A FRIEND, DO RIGHT AND THE GOLDEN RULE
THEN YOUR MAMA WILL KNOW, SHE DID NOT RAISE A FOOL

Never let a desire become an affliction
Strike a match, you can light a fire,and catch an addiction
There's a lot of life
You'll fight yourself in a deadly duel
Be brave and save yourself
And your mama, will not raise a fool

CHORUS
