Well I lost an eye in Mexico

                          Lost two teeth where I don't know

                          People see me comin' and they move to the other side 

of the road.



                          I robbed a liquor store or two

                          Made myself at home a few times

                          Borrowed myself a car when I needed it.



                          I got me a shack at the bottom of the road

                          Fixin' cars and givin' tows

                          Spend all my money on the lottery.



                          When I win the lottery gonna buy all girls on my block

                          A color TV and a bottle of French perfume

                          When I win the lottery gonna donate half my money to 

the city

                          So they have to name a street or a school or a park 

after me

                          When I win the lottery



                          Never run a flag up a pole

                          Like Mr. Red, White, and Blue down the road

                          But I never called myself a hero for killing a known 

communist.



                          Now I can walk into any old bar

                          Find a fight without looking too hard

                          But I never killed someone I don't know just 'cause 

someone told me to.



                          And when I win the lottery

                          Gonna buy the house next to Mr. Red, White and Blue

                          And when I win the lottery

                          Gonna buy Post 306 American Legion, paint it red with 

five gold stars.



                          When I win the lottery.



                          When the end comes to this old world

                          The rats will cry and the rest will curl up

                          And God won't take the time to sort your ashes from 

mine.



                          'Cause we zig and zag between good and bad

                          Stumble and fall on right and wrong

                          'Cause the tumbling dice and the luck of the draw 

just leads us on.



                          And when I win the lottery, gonna buy all the girls 

on my block

                          Silver-plated six shooters and a quart of the finest 

highland scotch

                          'Cause when I win the lottery, the rocks will shake 

their heads and say that

                          God is good but surely works in mysterious ways.



                          When I win the lottery.
