Lyrics Bruce Hornsby – No Home Training

Up in the country…
Back in the sticks…
Down in the woods…in the woods…in the woods… (Hey)
That’s what little country boys do… (Hey)

Ain’t got good sense
His drawers is a mess (Cabbage greens)
I don’t want to act right
Or God’ll kill me
Got keloid skin
Makes us all feel him (Get some leg)
Stylin’, profilin’
That’s why we like to hang with him

Poppy ain’t got no home training…
Mama gives such a low rating…
Triflin’ energy draining got no home training…

Making feet for socks (Cabbage greens)
Got big hindparts
He’s drinking out the whole jug
Or God me kill me
Don’t want to act right
Acting all ign’ant (Till I get right)
That’s why, why we like to hang with him

Poppy ain’t got no home training…
Mama gives such a low rating…
Triflin’ energy draining got no home training…

Poppy ain’t got no home training…
Stays outside when it’s raining…
Triflin’ energy draining got no home training…

Hey-ey-ey!
Poppy ain’t got no home training

I’m out in Carver Gardens in a trailer
And I’m playing my Farfisa in a soul band
Five brothers in a little room
No bigger than a bathroom
Sweat on the walls too
People say I’m crazy ’cause I’m coming here to blow
All I’ve got to say is I’ve got to bite off a little groove flow
I’m flowing

And this girl been pregnant
She said she been pregnant about four months
Her brother come here and said
«Nah, she been pregnant about nine months»
So I blowed that deal
So I took her for a night on the town
Jacked her up and laid her down
And I thought I’d go ahead and make somethin’ of myself
So I hit the road.

Poppy ain’t got no home training…
Mama gives such a low rating…
Triflin’ energy draining got no home training (Oh-oh-oh)

Hey-ey-ey!
Poppy ain’t got no home training
Hey-ey-ey!
Been outside in the lightnin’ and rainin’
Hey-ey-ey!
Feels triflin’ energy draining
Hey-ey-ey!
Poppy ain’t got no home training

Whomp upside the head
Whomp on upside the head…
etc.

I got…
