[ Featuring Texas ]
I was born in Florida but they gave me away
To Louisiana they sent
Me and my brother, we went
Knowing not a soul but my new ma and dad
I was picking cotton and being rotten
And the Mississippi rolled by
I went to join the army for to straighten me out
Met my first wife
Had a short lived new life and I
Trained to be a killer and I can but I wonu0027t
I donu0027t bother nobody, thanks for talking honey
Iu0027m a sad fella now
Money never meant nothing to me
Something always helped me out
Far as I could see
And got me along
I know I went wrong
I used to be a carpenter, a preacher, a drunk
I swear to God I tried
Talk to my second bride
Raising up an animalu0027s the nearest I had
To being a father, no I couldnu0027t bother but I
I got a son in Georgia, one in New Mexico, but up here
In North Dakota I'm just growing older, but I
Ainu0027t suicidal, no, Iu0027ve got my bible and beer
Money never meant nothing to me
Itu0027s like I never had a lick far as I could see
All of itu0027s gone
It doesnu0027t last long
I know I went wrong
Nothing ever meant nothing to me
I havenu0027t got a history
Far as I can see
To hell with it all
Iu0027m having a ball
Itu0027s nice that you called
