Soda and Salt James McMurtry

Mamma come runnin'
Daddy come quick
I think I swallowed something
It's making me sick
I don't know what it is
But it isn't sitting well with me
Don't you either one
Try to tell me it's supposed to be

What I got cookin'
Teacher come look
I think I'm on to something
That isn't in the book
I don't know what it is
But that doesn't mean it isn't true
When you write it in your paper
Would you let me have some credit too

(chorus)
I'm having a time
Trying to get it
Don't want to let it
Get to me
I'm gonna be fine
You can bet it
Just don't try to show me nothin' I don't want to see
