NOW MY MOMMA SHE'LL SAY THAT'S MY BABY
AND MY DADDY HE'D SAY THAT'S MY SON
MY HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL COACH SAID I WAS A WINNER
BUT NOT FAST OR QUICK ENOUGH TO GET IT DONE
AND IF YOU HAD TO ASK AN OLD GIRLFRIEND
I'D BE NERVOUS
DEPENDING ON WHICH ONE
CHORUS:
THERE'S A FEW THINGS THEY MIGHT SAY
AT THE MENTION OF MY NAME
THE SAINT,THE SINNER THE HOPELESS DREAMER
LORD I JUST HOPE THEY DON'T FORGET
THE SINGER
NO MY BOSS HE'LL SAY I'M HARD HEADED
AND MY BUDDIES THEY'LL SAY I GOT THEIR BACK
AND COLLEGE TRIED TO CALL ME A QUITTER
FOR KNOWING I WAS NOT CUT OUT FOR THAT
NOW MY PREACHER HE'LL SAY I'M A BELIEVER
AND PROUD TO SEE I GOT THINGS BACK ON TRACK
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE
ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU DON'T MISUNDERSTAND
I AIN'T' EVER BEEN MUCH MORE THAN A MUSIC MAN
THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT THEY'LL SAY
WHEN THEY PUT ME IN THAT GRAVE
MAYBE THE SAINT, THE SINNER, THE HOPELESS DREAMER
LORD I JUST HOPE THEY DON'T FORGET
THE SINGER
AND MY DADDY HE'D SAY THAT'S MY SON
MY HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL COACH SAID I WAS A WINNER
BUT NOT FAST OR QUICK ENOUGH TO GET IT DONE
AND IF YOU HAD TO ASK AN OLD GIRLFRIEND
I'D BE NERVOUS
DEPENDING ON WHICH ONE
