I wanna tell you a story, it happened long ago |
|
About a redneck boy, down from |
|
TupeloI got the slick black hair, |
|
I played a rock guitar |
|
I liked to shake my hips, man, then |
|
I went too far |
|
He ate his weight in country ham |
|
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland |
|
Disgraceland, disgraceland, disgraceland |
|
I had a lot of girls, yeah |
|
I had a lot of guns |
|
When they found me dead, the whole world was stunned |
|
Went to the |
|
Pearly Gates, said, "I'm the hippest thing" |
|
And Peter said "Well son, we already got ourselves a king" |
|
He lived on southern deep-fried spam |
|
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland |
|
Disgraceland, disgraceland, disgraceland |
|
He finished his short life |
|
Sweaty and bloated and stoned |
|
He ruled his domain and he died on the throne |
|
No yes men, no colonel, he went all alone{ |
|
Hey, man, that looks like me |
|
Down there on the floor} |
|
I heard the devil cry, real loud and clear |
|
You were the big man, there, you're just a sideman here |
|
Well, I know your face and |
|
I've heard your name |
|
Looks like |
|
Heaven's loss, is gonna be my gain(I've got plans for you, boy) |
|
He ate his weight in country ham |
|
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland |
|
Disgraceland, disgraceland, disgraceland |
|
Disgraceland, disgraceland, disgraceland, disgraceland |
|
Well, I woke up, right here |
|
In disgraceland, disgraceland |
|
Thank ya, thank ya very much |
