Mother-scratchin', chicken-shittin', onion gravy
Fightin' with the woman's 'bout to drive me crazy:
Swears to holy God there ain't none more lazy
And I'm headed out the door 'cause I know she's right

Blue tick in the yard, he's yelpin' and howlin'
My youngest kids cryin', his stomach's a-growlin'
Never kept a job 'cause of drinkin' and prowlin'
I'm stinkin' and a-stumblin' almost every night

I know I ain't no man among men
Jesus, I pray you'll take me in

I Find a little lovin', do a little o' gamblin'
Sheriff comes around and I'm off and ramblin'
Never found a bottle that wasn't worth samplin'
I never paid a dime I was ever lent

Never lived a life, but the one that I want to
That's the kind of life that'll come back and haunt you
All your stupid sins gonna gang up and taunt you
Try to change your ways, but you know you can't

I know I ain't no man among men
Jesus, I pray you'll take me in

Spoken:
Mother-scratchin', chicken-shittin', onion gravy
Fightin' with the woman's 'bout to drive me crazy:
Swears to holy God there ain't none more lazy
And I'm headed out the door 'cause I know she's right

Blue tick in the yard, he's yelpin' and howlin'
My youngest kids cryin', his stomach's a-growlin'
Never kept a job 'cause of drinkin' and prowlin'
I'm stinkin' and a-stumblin' almost every night

I know I ain't no man among men
Jesus, I pray you'll take me in

I know I ain't no man among men
Jesus, I pray you'll take me in

Now hold on baby, 'cause I like to go
You swing the kid around in a do-si-do
Try to fuck with me and I'll stop the show
Myself.
