| God smiles and lights a cigarette
|
| And says «There are some souls I ain’t gonna get
|
| I’d take all the little critters if I could
|
| But some are to smart for their own damn good
|
| They don’t even believe I’m here
|
| They ain’t seen where I’ve been
|
| Every once in a while I hear one say
|
| Get me out of this I’ll never do it again»
|
| All it takes is some grains of faith
|
| And a few kilowatts of sweat and grace
|
| All it takes is some grains of faith
|
| And a few kilowatts of sweat and grace
|
| Mama’s been casting spells and such
|
| Lining them up to get their fortunes told
|
| She’s been doing this for a while
|
| I wouldn’t go so far as to call her old
|
| I saw her break a hex one time
|
| Said all that glitters is not gold
|
| Then she took a diamond ring
|
| And threw it down a crawdad hole and said
|
| Lucinda’s been laying down on the job
|
| That’s a hard way to make some money
|
| Say’s «Here I am in the USA ««I ain’t seen no milk and honey»
|
| All I seen is tattooed hands
|
| Waving up wadded dollar bills
|
| Maybe I oughta' get redeemed
|
| It’s getting to where I can’t buy a thrill
|
| God coughs and puts out the cigarette
|
| And says whats this got to do with you
|
| It’s hard to get a rascals attention
|
| I keep raising the stakes until I do
|
| Death kind of puts a damper on things
|
| So you might want to remember this
|
| See yourself as you would like to be
|
| Then he winds his watch and he blows me a kiss and says |
