Presbyterian Boy


E I've been drinkin' a little too much. I've been accused of loosin' my touch. And if I'm goin' to be totally honest, I've been goin' from crutch to crutch. A A mama's pride and joy, E Another Presbyterian boy A Out in the wide, wide world, E Out on a limb.

I've been makin' some silly mistakes.
I've been blowin' some pretty good breaks.
And if you wanna hear all there is,
I'm a-wonderin' what in the world it takes
For a mama's pride and joy,
Another Presbyterian boy
Out in the wide, wide world,
Out on a limb.

           Am
Out in the wide, wide world, 
         E
Out on a limb.


   G               D        C                        G
Oh Lord, I get the feelin', sittin' here spinnin' my wheels,
C                  G             B7
Gettin' nowhere at all in record time.
G                   D                 C         G
Just in case you're wonderin' how the situation feels,
                C                      B7
Just nickle and dime - only nickle and dime.

I've been lettin' it slip away,
Loosin' it day by day.
Now all my friends are shakin' their heads,
And wonderin' what in the world to say
To a mama's pride and joy,
Another Presbyterian boy
Out in the wide, wide world,
Out on a limb.
Out in the wide, wide world,
Out on a limb.

Oh Lord, I get the feelin', sittin' here spinnin' my wheels,
Gettin' nowhere at all in record time.
Just in case you're wonderin' how the situation feels,
Just nickle and dime - only nickle and dime.

I've been lettin' it slip away.
I've been loosin' it day by day.
Now all my friends are shakin' their heads,
And wonderin' what in the world to say
To a mama's pride and joy,
Another Presbyterian boy
Out in the wide, wide world,
Out on a limb.
Out in the wide, wide world,
Out on a limb.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1978)
