Well I lost an eye in Mexico
|
Lost two teeth where I don't know
|
People see me comin' and they move to the other side of the road.
|
|
I robbed a liquor store or two
|
Made myself at home a few times
|
Borrowed myself a car when I needed it.
|
|
I got me a shack at the bottom of the road
|
Fixin' cars and givin' tows
|
Spend all my money on the lottery.
|
|
When I win the lottery gonna buy all girls on my block
|
A color TV and a bottle of French perfume
|
When I win the lottery gonna donate half my money to the city
|
So they have to name a street or a school or a park after me
|
When I win the lottery
|
|
Never run a flag up a pole
|
Like Mr. Red, White, and Blue down the road
|
But I never called myself a hero for killing a known communist.
|
|
Now I can walk into any old bar
|
Find a fight without looking too hard
|
But I never killed someone I don't know just 'cause someone told me to.
|
|
And when I win the lottery
|
Gonna buy the house next to Mr. Red, White and Blue
|
And when I win the lottery
|
Gonna buy Post 306 American Legion, paint it red with five gold stars.
|
When I win the lottery.
|
|
When the end comes to this old world
|
The righteous will cry and the rest will curl up
|
And God won't take the time to sort your ashes from mine.
|
|
'Cause we zig and zag between good and bad
|
Stumble and fall on right and wrong
|
'Cause the tumbling dice and the luck of the draw just leads us on.
|
|
And when I win the lottery, gonna buy all the girls on my block
|
Silver-plated six shooters and a quart of the finest highland scotch
|
'Cause when I win the lottery, the righteous will shake their heads and say that
|
God is good but surely works in mysterious ways.
|
When I win the lottery.
