Last Child
( Tyler / Whitford )
Oooo ooo...
I'm dreaming tonight... I'm leaving back home
Right
Yea... yeah
Take me back to a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassee
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty
Yes sir no sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poontang sweetheart
Sweathog who can make silk purse from a J. Paul Get-(ty)
... And his ear
With her face in her beer
Home sweet home
Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma she's a cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plough
And my feets in the ghetto
Stand up sit down
Don't do nothin'
It ain't no good when boss man's stuffin' it
Down their throats
For paper notes
And their babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rockin' the street
Home sweet home
Mama take me home sweet home
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
J. Paul Get-(ty) Steven fuckin' Tyler is just too funny! I just realized WHY... this lyric is correct! OMG... it's only taken 35 fucking years!! J. Paul Get is just shorten to hit the rhyme with "sweat" from the previous line... and of course we know he means John Paul Getty! But... he's not talking about the dad... senior Getty! He's talking about J. Paul Getty the third... a grandson! Why you ask?? Because back in 1973 while in Rome at age 16... J. Paul Getty III was kidnapped... and soon after... three months later... an envolope with his hair locks and one of his ears arrived at the Getty household that was sent by the kidnappers to prove that they meant business! They wanted millions for the safe return of JPG III... So now that line just makes total sense... Fuckin' Tyler is something else man... too funny!!
On the Rocks album he doesn't seem to be singing... "make a silk purse"... you just hear... "make silk purse"... but on all the live tracks you can hear him singing it with the "a" included... "make a silk purse"... tommy
