Hayes Carll Stomp and Holler Lyrics

Oh, Little Johnny Walter caught a bullet last night running from the guitar store
He took a left down the alley, guess he shouldve gone right
Now he ain't taken nothing no more, more,more
Everybody knows it's a hard time livin' with hate and the greed
Most folks earn what they get for a livin' others steal what they need
Down on the corner, already talkin' how they're gonna cut that take
Im out here just workin' for a dollar and all i wanna do is stomp and holler
Oh, eighteen years, eighteen years that's a long-old time to be
Sittin' face down, stoned in the alley wonderin' how to get to that shinin' sea
Everybody knows it's a hard time livin' livin'on the minimum wage
Ah, some people just gonna sneak on through others gotta rattle that cage
One of these days, Im gonna find my way or else just disappear
I'm out here in the filth and squalor and all I wanna do is stomp and holler
Oh, rock and roll, ache and moan listen to the young girls scream
Every time I get a little bit lucky I gotta wake up from a poor mans dream
Heaven only knows how we get there after all this trouble and strife
From all Ive seen, you only get one shot at what youre gonna do in this life
Ah, what the hell, I guess I might as well take a chance and try my way
I'm like James Brown only white and taller and all I wanna do is stomp and holler
