If you gave me a nickel to mend my ways, well, then I'd have a nickel and I reckon I'd probably owe you change. I don't have a care, I don't have a plan. I got nothing to spare and it's just the way I am.
If you gave me your two cents on how to live my life, well, then I'd have two cents and a great big pile of bad advice. I don't doubt your mind or ability I just highly doubt that you know what's right for me.
You say I'm stubborn as a mule, boy 'cause you got words, I just won't hear. I may seem stubborn as a mule, boy, but if wealth is measured by the ease, you do just what you please, then I'm the richest man in here.
You say to save my pennies for a rainy day. But I can't buy beer with pennies I've gone and stashed away. That rainy day, might be when I'm dead so I'd rather spend, them now on beer instead.
If you bet me a dollar, that I am wrong, I'd take your dollar and I'd put it in the jukebox for this song. Then I'd sit on back and pretend to hear, your nagging words, while I finish up my beer.
You say I'm stubborn as a mule, boy 'cause you got words, I just won't hear. I may seem stubborn as a mule, boy, but if wealth is measured by the ease, you do just what you please, then I'm the richest man in here.
You've got the things you need and that's alright for you. You've got your cubicle and your three-piece-suit. You've got security and hypertension, too and you've got that tie that fits you like a noose!
Bet your bottom dollar that the buck stops here 'cause if you meet me in another forty years, I'll still be broke and I may be old but the life I'd lived, would have been worth more than gold.
You say I'm stubborn as a mule, boy 'cause you got words, I just won't hear. I may seem stubborn as a mule, boy, but if wealth is measured by the ease, you do just what you please, then I'm the richest man in here.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
