Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I been spending all my money on weed n' pills
Trying to write a song that'll pay the bills
But it ain't came yet, I guess I'll have to rob a bank
I guess it could be worse, it ain't that bad
At least I ain't sitting in old Baghdad
In the middle of the hot damn desert sitting in a tank
[Verse 2]
Every time the wife talks a baby gets mentioned
But I'm so broke I can't pay attention
Lord how it tears me up to see her cry
I been spending all my nights on the internet
Looking for a clue, but ain't found one yet
Just a bunch of Mopars, guitars, and other stuff I can't buy
[Verse 3]
Well, now Lord, if you can hear me, won't you throw a damn dog a bone
'Cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal this old soul's going down
I sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad
All the people in the crowd say he ain't half bad
They still call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
But if you want it you can have the crown
[Verse 4]
Been sitting on my ass like a bump on a log
Watching Andy and ol' Boss Hog
Guess I ought to get up and go out and find a job
Instead of sitting on the couch trying to find the next line
I'm sure there's gotta be a better use of my time
Like figuring out which one of them banks I'm gonna go rob
[Verse 5]
Well, the name of the game is hurry up and wait
But that ain't putting no food on my plate
Or gas in my car and I drive a Bronco
Well, now Lord, I finally got out of my record deal
And now these bluegrass tunes are buying all my meals
But we're all just pawns in the game of life like Mongo
[Verse 6]
Well, now Lord, if you can hear me, won't you throw a damn dog a bone
'Cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal this old soul's going down
And I sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad
All the people in the crowd say, he ain't half bad
Well, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
But if you want it you can have the crown
Well, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
If you want it you can have the crown
