Tom Paxton - Presbyterian Boy Lyrics

I've been drinkin' a little too much
I've been accused of loosin' my touch
And if I'm going to be totally honest
I've been goin' crutch to crutch
A mama's pride and joy
Another Presbyterian boy
Out in the wide, wide world
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
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 wonder
How the situation feels
It's nickle and dime
Only nickle and dime
I've been lettin' it slip away
Losin' 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'
I'm sittin' here spinnin' my wheels
Gettin' nowhere at all
In record time
Just in case you wonder
How the situation feels
Just nickle and dime
Only nickle and dime
I've been lettin' it slip away
I've been losin' 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
