You're a mean pickin' mama
You've gone too far this time
You're a mean pickin' mama
You left the way behind
Used to be you had fun with me
Drinking that stuff from Tennessee
But you ain't the gal you used to be
You're a mean pickin' mama
You're a mean pickin' mama
You sure can play the blues
You're a mean pickin' mama
I know you paid your dues
We don't talk, we got nothin' to say
You just wanna play that guitar all day
A-rockin' and rollin' your life away
You're a mean pickin' mama
You're a mean pickin' mama
That much I know is true
You're a mean pickin' mama
I had enough of you
You sure can sing, you sure can play
You sure can rock on, that I'll say
But please don't throw your man away
You're a mean pickin' mama
