Standin alone in the middle of the rain
Black clouds surround me and I don't know my name
Wishin and wondering bout times I have known
I'm just a country boy and I want to go home
Theres a buzzard down the street and he claims he knows me
Say's he met me in Alaska in the fall of 43
Then a gypsy women comes, say's something you should know
I just read your fortune and you died 5 years ago

Hey Mother, rescue me, do
Should of stayed in school
Should have married Peggy Sue
Oh Mother, rescue me, do
Should of stayed in school
Should have married Peggy Sue

Then a drag queen on a bike, he pulls up my way
Say's hop on my cycle man I'm gonna take you away
So he pulls into China, and on to Tibet
Where a guru man told me death would get me yet
Hey Mother, rescue me, do
Should of stayed in school
Should have married Peggy Sue
Oh Mother, rescue me, do
Should of stayed in school
Should have married Peggy Sue
