Lordy Jesus, gotta mind my tongue
Got no money and I got no gun
Gonna take it on now down that road
You know I got to go

Moonshine flowin like a river in the wood
Got a half a mind to tell you all the things I should
Put it in a bag and I take it down the road
And I hang my head so low

I've got all the time in the world
Singin I've got all the time
Unless they snatch me up
Gonna lock me down
Spend 5 to 10 in the pen downtown
I'm a son of a gun go-getter but I won't be the one downtown tonight
Said I'm a son of a gun go-getter but I won't be the one downtown tonight

Lordy Jesus, gotta mind my words
Take another sip and I calm my nerves
You can't pay me back with that sour mash
I'm a desperate man and I need that cash, alright

I've been walking around this world
I've seen some crazy things and heard all that there is to hear
Now I'm rambling about a goddamn shame, think about it
Say, I don't know where I'm gonna go
Don't know where I'm gonna go
