Sunday morning I heard mama pray

From a room I heard her say

Good Lord, help my son find his way

Lord, he's just a country boy

Thinks the world is great big toy

There ain't nothin' he can't do

If he wants to

He got himself a part time job

Saved his money and bought him a guitar

Played from Sun up to sundown, hey, hey, hey

(He don't wanna) go to schoool no more

Don't do his household chores

But I'm a hit, the neighbors biggest sound

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(He's) got some big ideas

He's talkin' 'bout leavin' here

Going to a place called New York City

And here's what he told me

Mama, I gotta brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

Mama, (yeah) I gotta brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

Mama said: My son, my son you're only sixteen

I know being a star is your dream

But I think it's time you stop all this foolin'

And get to your schoolin'

Living in a state of frustration

Stop preachin' that education

'Cause this job is gonna make me a king

Above everything else, listen

Donned from head to toe

First class everywhere we go

Just give me a chance to do my thing

Mama, I gotta brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

Mama, I gotta brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

I can see it now

Champagne and caviar

Black limousine, chauffeured car

Trips all around the world

And I'll have my choice of any girl

People lined up as far as you can see

Standing in line just to see me

Money stacking up to the sky

There ain't nothin' that we can't buy

Have a little faith in me

Mama I'm sure that you will see that your son and his guitar

Are gonna go far

Mama, I gotta brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

Mama, I gotta brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

Mama, I gotta brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

I got a brand new thing, I got a brand new thing

I got a brand new thing, I got a brand new thing

(It's alright) I got a brand new thing, I got a brand new thing

(It's alright) I got a brand new thing, I got a brand new thing

(It's alright) I got a brand new thing

(It's alright) I got a brand new thing

(It's alright) I got a brand new thing

(It's alright) I got a brand new thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

If you like it, let me see you move

If you like it, let me see you groove

If you like it, let me see you move

If you like it, let me see you groove

Let me see you groove, let me see you groove

Let me see you move, let me see you groove

Let me see you move, let me see you move

Let's groove, let me see you move

Wait a minute, I believe I'm ready to get me some help now

We got a brand new thing, oh, we got a brand new thing

We got a brand new thing, oh, we got a brand new thing

Here it is!

Here it is!

Mama (yeah), I got a brand new thing, don't say no

(Don't say no) let me go (let me go, yeah)

Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no (don't say no)

Let me go

Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go

Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no

Let me go
