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
