When I was a young boy, I was working for the state
I wasn't making much money, I was staying out late
I'd go down at night time, play music in the bars
Take my brakes out, underneath the stars
I was making some noise, I was a working boy
Up at the top of the voice, saying look at me mama, I'm making some noise
I had to rock the boat, I had to shake the tree
To see what fall, down on me
I thought maybe I could make it, if I never give in
I've been down before, I ain't going down again
I'm making some noise
I've been a worried boy
Up at the top of the voice, saying look at me mama, I'm making some noise
From across the canyon
A guitar player
A bass
Through an amplifier
A love delay
There was an old melody
I recognized the song
I had an amplifier too
So I played along
I'm making some noise
I'm still a working boy
Up at the top of the voice, saying look at me mama, I'm making some noise
I had an amplifier


I'm making some noise
I've been a long gone boy
At the top of my voice
Say it literally, mama
I'm making some noise
I'm making some noise
I'm making some noise
I'm making some noise
