Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Why don't you sleep out, start livin' high
You're on your own
You make your bed
No time for wastin', just look ahead
[Verse 2]
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him any more
He's got a reputation that he don't look back
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Verse 3]
He's gettin' old, it's gettin' late
It's soon tomorrow
So celebrate
Bring it out, and go to town
Before you're thinkin' of settlin' down
[Verse 4]
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him any more
He don't believe in livin' like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Verse 5]
Findin' out, is half the fun
And when you find out, don't try to run
And if you know, then you've begun
But if you don't know, it's still to come
[Verse 6]
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him any more
He talks about his women and his old school tie
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Verse 7]
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him any more
He don't believe in livin' like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
