You Can Have The Crown
Well, I've been spending all my money on weed n' pills Tryin' to write a song that'll pay the bills But it ain't came yet, so 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 sittin' in old Baghdad In the middle of the hot damn desert sittin' in a tank Well, 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 Oh, I've been spendin' 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 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 a-goin' down Oh, I sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad And 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, I've been sittin' on my ass like a bump on a log Watchin' Andy and ol' Boss Hog Guess I ought to get up and go find a job Songtexte Instead of sittin' 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 these banks I'm gonna go rob 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 So Lord, if I could just get me a record deal I might not have to worry about my next meal But I'll still be trying to figure out what the hell rhymes with Bronco 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 a-goin' down Oh, I sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad And 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 But if you want it you can have the crown Aus Songtexte Mania
