I’m broke I’m lonesome My old car is rusting
My mom passed away yesterday
My grandma is dying My auntie sells moonshine
My son has found out he is gay
My sister‘s been knocked up The father is unknown
Her doctor has said she’ll have twins
My ex-wife has sued me She thinks I have money
I can’t pay a dime if she wins
My new wife has left me My dad is on welfare
My brother was sentenced and jailed
The spring flood has ravaged The drought came here later
My wheat crop and corn harvest failed
My cat ate rat poison My dog has distemper
My cattle has mad cow disease
My VCR broke down And so did my TV
My landlord has cancelled my lease
My daughter smokes hashish Her boyfriend sells candy
Very seldom she comes home at night
My horse has been stolen My outhouse was burnt down
My prospects are not very bright
BUT !!
I still have my own teeth I’ve no signs of balding
My health is as good as can be
I’ll pick up my banjo And move down to Nashville
And settle in lush Tennessee
I’ll sing at Ole Opry I’ll publish some records
And maybe I’ll soon be a star
I’ll buy me Porsche I’ll build me a mansion
With jacuzzi, a pool and a bar
I’ll throw garden parties With Dolly and Kenny
And many of my Nashville friends
But should my plans flop My world will not stop
My future is still in God’s hands |
