[Guitar Solo Intro]

[Verse]
It ain't easy
Living like a gypsy
Tell your honey how I feel
I've been dreaming
Floating down the stream and
Losing touch with all that's real
Whole earth lover
Keeping under cover
Never know where you've been
You've been fading
Always out parading
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shooting fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out
Because someday soon, you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

[Pre-Chorus]
It isn't easy living like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind, yes, it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

[Chorus 1]
Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
And working for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Or someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

[Chorus 2]
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea

[Guitar & Saxophone Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
It isn't easy living like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind, yes, it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

[Chorus 1]
Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Working for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Because someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

[Chorus 2]
Keeping up Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
I said I'll tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea

Aerosmith

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
