GOING BACK TO TIPPYTOE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

going back to Tippytoe
that is where I want to go
what thought was true aint so
thought I knew but didn't know
going back
back to Tippytoe
Tippytoe, hello !

I was born in Louisiana
back up in the sticks
racing cars and moonshine
was how we got our kicks
went down to New Orleans
with a bag of tricks
I don't know how I even
got into this fix

had a hand to fold me
shouldn't've messed with cards
had a girl who rolled me
boy I took it hard
ignored what they told me
feathered me and tarred
then a slaver sold me
caught me off my guard

now I am so hungry
throw the man a bone
man I am so angry
hard to be alone
all the cops are laughing
hearts are made of stone
I would be so happy
if you take me home

I should have appreciated
what all the while I had
but I overestimated
and it turned out bad
doing time is overrated
solitude is sad
but I will be so elated
to see my Mom and Dad

going back to Tippytoe
that is where I want to go
what thought was true aint so
thought I knew but didn't know
going back
back to Tippytoe
Tippytoe, hello !
