Dear GOD this isn't even the entire song. You missed an entire verse:
"I'm a good old boy
I know my mama loves me
But she don't understand
They keep-a showin' my hands
And not my face on TV."
The last verse, for those who never watched the TV show, refers to how you always see the narrator (Waylon's) hands playing the guitar, but you never actually see who it is.
Waylon, aka Waymore (as in "Waymore's Blues"), aka Watashe (his nickname given to him by Hank Williams, Jr.) deserves way better than this. He had about a thousand songs in his repetoire better than this one, yet this is the one that the moronic new generations will listen to over and over and feel is his only claim to fame?
