(That's the world according to Raymond) and a Raymond according to me
|
He lives down in old North Carolina makes moonshine from good cropper web
|
He carries a big thirty eight it's illegal but we know that Raymond don't care
|
Raymond explains his religion it's the air it's the earth it's the earth
|
Lord gives it to you and he takes it away and without it you ain't got a prayer
|
(That's the a world according to Raymond) he's rough he's tough and he's free
|
That's the a world according to Raymond that's Raymond according to me

|
Now Ray never killed anybody but he hurt some that got in his way
|
Raymond still makes it but Raymond quit drinkin' he got beat up in the friendly cafe
|
Now an old hog ain't got but one blood vein and it's located there in his neck
|
If you don't believe it come back next December but I ain't been back down there yet
|
hat's the a world according to Raymond...
