Cane poles hanging out of a four door window

Bucket full of minnows in the front floorboard

Box full of greasy cold fried chicken livers



A day on the river's what I live for



Got the radio playing and my boat while I float

Take a toke and listen to Merle

Hot sun, cold one, I'll be a son of a gun

I'm king of the world



They grow big gators in south Louisiana

My neighbors in the swamp take an evening nap

Shoo fly, shoo fly, Polk salad Annie

Listen to the bull frogs hip hop rap



I got a pretty thing waiting downtown

I'm in love with a green eyed girl

I'm gonna catch me a fish, go home, get a kiss, play

Yes I'm king of the world



Got a stringer full of bass and a hookie in my finger

Sun burnt face and a Tylenol buzz

Take the good with the bad and the bad with the better

The weather isn't bad so better not cuss



I got a roof over me and enough to eat

And a Labrador I call Earl

He lays by my feet, looks up at me

Like I'm the king of the world



Cane poles hanging out of a four door window

Bucket full of minnows in the front floorboard

Box full of green cold fried chicken livers

A day on the river's what I live for



Got the radio playing and my boat while I float

Take a toke and listen to Merle

Hot sun, cold one, I'll be a son of a gun

I'm king of the world



King of the world

I'm king of the world
