Hey, when C.C. Rider was just a snot-nosed kid

I was already known for doin' what I did

The women all screamed as I walked by

My daddy would cuse me

And my momma'd start to cry

'Cause I was known yeah for doin' what I did

My reputation was strong, hey for doing what I did

It ain't no way they could ever get kissed

'Cause I was just too well known for doin' what I did

Hey, my momma called the preacher, called up everyone she knew

All of her friends up to no good with you know who

When old Casanova was a just love-sick punk

I'd already broke me so many hearts I could've started me a dump

'Cause I was known yeah for doin' what I did

My reputation was strong, hey for doing what I did

It ain't no way they could ever get kissed

'Cause I was just too well known for doin' what I did

The older boys was teasin' me on my first day of school

So finally the teachers let me break all the rules

The press heard about it tried to put me in the news

The women had no comment for fear of what they'd lose

'Cause I was known yeah for doin' what I did

My reputation was strong, hey for doing what I did

It ain't no way they could ever get kissed

'Cause I was just too well known for doin' what I did

Ahh, it was like I was strong, since I was born

Man, I stood alone

Yeah, Baby, I was strong

Doin what I did

Doin what I did

Ah, Doin what I did

Hey, when old C.C. Rider was a snot-nosed kid

I was already know, baby, for doin' what I did

When little Casanova was a snot-nosed punk,

I'd already broke so many hearts I could've started me a dump

I was known, for doin' what I did

My reputation was strong, yeah for doin' what I did

All the time I was know, yeah for doin' what I did
