Any Old Country Boy

From the musical Batter Up

Any old country boy in any old country
Cared about his mama and his mama’s ways
Oh, and any old country boy in any old country
Minded what his mama said when he went out to play

She said, “Come home, son when the playing’s done
Come home, son, come home to your Ma
Come home, son, when the playing’s done
Come home to your Mama, don’t stray too far away.”

Any old country boy from any old country
Knows right from wrong and what he ought to do
Ah, but every old country boy from any old country
Sometimes makes a bitter choice and what’s his Ma to do?

“Come home, son when the playing’s done
Come home, son, come home to your Ma
Come home, son, no matter what you've done
Come home to your Mama, don’t stray too far away.”

Any old country boy from any old country
Wants to go back home, back from where he came
Ah, but every old country boy from any old country
Knows his home’s forever gone, it can never be the same

She said, “Come home, son when the playing’s done
Come home, son, come home to your Ma
Come home, son, no matter what you've done
Come home to your Mama, don’t stray too far away.”
