text: Sunday morning I heard mama pray
  From a room I heard her say
  Good Lord help my son find his way
  Lord hes just a country boy
  He thinks the world is great big toy
  There aint nothin he cant 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
   Go to schoool no more
  Dont do his household chores
  But I must admit, the neighbors dig his sound
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
   Got some big ideas
  Hes talkin bout leavin here
  Going to a place called New York City
  And heres what he told me
  Mama, I gotta brand new thing, dont say no
  Let me go
  Mama, I got a brand new thing, dont say no
  Let me go
  Mama said, My son, my son youre only sixteen
  I know being a star is your dream
  But I think its 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 got a brand new thing, dont say no
  Let me go
  Mama 
  I got a brand new thing 
  Dont say no 
  Let me go 
  Champagne and caviar
  A black limousine, chauffeured car
  Trips all around the world
  And Ill 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 aint nothin that we cant buy
  Have a little faith in me
  Mama Im sure that you will see
  That your son and his guitar are gonna go far
