I Value Praise

I can't say that I value praise
But from the way I was raised
I'll only accept any cheer I receive
As a reward for the people who raised me

When I wasn't man enough for the deli
I quit and still needed money
My folks took care of me
When it cost car repair to receive her
And the fuel wasn't free either
My folks took care of me

I can't say that I value praise
But from the way I was raised
I'll only accept any cheer I receive
As a reward for the people who raised me

When I've been to concerts one hundred and fifty
The average cost were one fifty
My dad took care of me
When my looks, health, and living needed upkeep
My mother valued them as something to keep
My mom took care of me

I can't say that I value praise
But from the way I was raised
I'll only accept any cheer I receive
As a reward for the people who raised me

When I told my parents I didn't need a job
I could use my music to set up shop
My folks had to tell me
I wasn't even making poverty level income
I couldn't afford to wash my thumb
My folks had to tell me

Anything around me that I reach for
Comes with the burden my parents' bore
My folks took care of me
I have been nothing but grateful
Ever since that day in April
My folks took care of me
