Old Man Jones - Matt Mason

I’d sit in that old barber chair,

and old man Jones would buzz my hair.

Wish I had a dime for the time he spent givin' daddy his two cents.

Spare the rod,

spoil the child.

Give an inch and they’ll take a mile.

Love 'em tough, even when it hurts.

Might hate ya now, but man it’s worth the fight

to keep the girls off the pole, and the boys off the pipe.

He said daddy worked himself to death,

and momma had no iron fist.

Me and sis got on a terror,

Momma didn’t stand a prayer.

Spare the rod,

spoil the child.

Give an inch and they’ll take a mile.

Love 'em tough, even when it hurts.

Might hate ya now, but man it’s worth the fight

to keep the girls off the pole, and the boys off the pipe.

I got lost.

I found drugs.

Hangin' out with thieves and thugs.

Sister didn’t know no shame.

Trixie was her midnight name.

Spare the rod,

spoil the child.

Give an inch, and they’ll take a mile.

Love 'em tough, even when it hurts.

Might hate ya now, but man it’s worth the fight

to keep the girls off the pole, and the boys off the pipe.

I saw last night on CNN cops were at some school again.

Wish that old man Jones was here to sit the whole damn world down in his chair.
