Lucus Was a Redneck

Lucas was a redneck through and through Drinkin' and fightin' was all the boy knew Born with a corncob in his mouth In Tupelo Mississippi way down south His daddy died drunk with a belly fulla rum His mama died waitin' for a miracle to come People said The boy's born to be a bum Hangin' around with the rest of the riff-raff Down at the pool hall on Main Street Wearin' a red bandana and a sweaty ol' straw hat Union-All coveralls, dirty bare feet One half stupid and the other half dumb Born to live and die in a sharecropper's slum People said The boy's born to be a bum Who's gonna cry when ya die, Lucas Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone Will it be the black man you call the nigger The hippie that'cha beat up just 'cause you was bigger Will the riff-raff laugh at the epitaph on your tombstone Betcha says "Here lies Lucas, born to be a bum... ...Died like his daddy with a belly fulla rum" Now who's gonna cry when ya die, Lucas Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone Will it be the black man you call the nigger The hippie that'cha beat up just 'cause you was bigger Will the riff-raff laugh at the epitaph on your tombstone I'll Betcha says "Here lies Lucas, born to be a bum... ...Died like his daddy with a belly fulla rum" UHHHHHHHH! Goodbye, Lucas...
