Songtekst
STAY AWAY
Ten thousand miles
Even though I roam
I can hear the call
Of the hills of home
The canyons high
And the valleys low
Echo: how can you stay away
My dreams are there
Where the eagle flies
Where the mountain tops
Seem to touch the sky
The winding streams
And the winds that blow
Ask me: how can you stay away
Far too long
Have I stayed apart
From this land that I love
And divide my heart
Now, now I know
I must go
Where the hills say: don't stay away
Where the hills say: don't stay away

U.S. MALE
I'm a U.S. Male
Cause I was born
In a Mississippi town
On a Sunday morn'
Now Mississippi just happens
To occupy a place
In the Southeastern portion
Of this here United States
Now, that's a matter of fact, buddy
You know it well
So I just call myself
The U.S. Male
That's M-A-L-E, son
That's me
Now I said all that
To say all this
I've been watchin' the way
You've been watchin' my miss
For the last three weeks
You been hot on her trail
And you kinda upset
This U.S. Male
You touch her once
With your greasy hands
I'm gonna stretch your neck
Like a long rubber band
She's wearin' a ring
That I bought her on sale
And that makes her the property
Of this U.S. Male
You better not mess with the U.S. Male, my friend
The U.S. Male gets mad, he's gonna do you in
You know what's good for yourself, son
You better find somebody else, son
Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male
Through the rain and the heat
And the sleet and the snow
The U.S. Male
Is on his toes
Quit watchin' my woman
For that ain't wise
You ain't pullin' no wool
Over this boy's eyes
I catch you 'round
My woman, champ
I'm gonna leave your head
'bout the shape of a stamp
Kinda flattened out
So you'll do well
To quit playin' games
With this U.S. Male
You better not mess with the U.S. Male, my friend
The U.S. Male gets mad, he's gonna do you in
You know what's good for yourself, son
You better find somebody else, son
Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male
Sock it to me
I'm gonna tell it like it is, son
I catch you messin' 'round with that woman of mine
I'm gonna lay one on ya
You're talkin' to the U.S. Male
The American U.S. Male
