Presbyterian Boy - Tom Paxton

I’ve been drinkin' a little too much

I’ve been accused of loosin' my touch

And if I’m going to be totally honest

I’ve been goin' crutch to crutch

A mama’s pride and joy

Another Presbyterian boy

Out in the wide, wide world

Out on a limb

I’ve been makin' some silly mistakes

I’ve been blowin' some pretty good breaks

And if you wanna hear all there is

I’m a-wonderin' what in the world it takes

For a mama’s pride and joy

Another Presbyterian boy

Out in the wide, wide world

Out on a limb

Out in the wide, wide world

Out on a limb

Oh Lord, I get the feelin'

Sittin' here spinnin' my wheels

Gettin' nowhere at all

In record time

Just in case you wonder

How the situation feels

It’s nickle and dime

Only nickle and dime

I’ve been lettin' it slip away

Loosin' it day by day

Now all my friends are shakin' their heads

And wonderin' what in the world to say

To a mama’s pride and joy

Another Presbyterian boy

Out in the wide, wide world

Out on a limb

Out in the wide, wide world

Out on a limb

Oh Lord, I get the feelin'

Sittin' here spinnin' my wheels

Gettin' nowhere at all

In record time

Just in case you wonder

How the situation feels

Just nickle and dime

Only nickle and dime

I’ve been lettin' it slip away

I’ve been loosin' it day by day

Now all my friends are shakin' their heads

And wonderin' what in the world to say

To a mama’s pride and joy

Another Presbyterian boy

Out in the wide, wide world

Out on a limb

Out in the wide, wide world

Out on a limb
