It's a Shame

Well, my daddy was a saint

My momma was a sinner

Papaw was an old freight train

Well, my uncle liked huntin' and the other liked fishin'

Lord, and my aunts nearly drove 'em insane

Yeah my brother's a hero

My sister's an angel

And I never meant to cause 'em no pain

Yes and I am a drinker and I'm also a thinker

And I think that's a damn crying shame

Just like it's a shame to see a woman

Who's white trash and pretty

It's a shame to see a truck that don't run

It's a shame that I'm so rich when I ain't got no money

It's a shame I ain't having no fun

It's a shame I ain't sitting up on some barstool

It's a shame that I'm going through hell

It's a shame I've been drinking

And it's a shame I've been thinking

But I'm bored so I might as well sing

Yodel-lay-he yodel-lay-he yodel-lay-he

Well, my dog ate my loveseat

My car's a lemon

I've got two left feet and no thumbs

I'm unambidextrous, I'm uncoordinated

I'd count my blessings if I had some

Or at least that's the way it feels

On them old dreary days

Rain falling down from the sky

I'll give you these last parting words of my wisdom

They ain't much, but I reckon I oughta try

To tell y'all that it's a shame to see a woman

Who's white trash and pretty

It's a shame to see a truck that won't run

It's a shame that I'm so rich when I ain't got no money

It's a shame I ain't having no fun

It's a shame I ain't sitting up on some barstool

It's a shame that I'm going through hell

It's a shame I've been drinking

And it's a shame I've been thinking

But I'm bored so I might as well

Sing yodel-lay-he yodel-lay-he yodel-lay-he
