Lyrics You Can Have the Crown - Sturgill Simpson

Well, I been spending all my money on weed 'n' pills
Trying to write a song that'll pay the bills
But it ain't came yet so I guess I'll have to rob a bank
I guess it could be worse, it ain't that bad
At least I ain't sitting in old Baghdad
In the middle of the hot damn desert sitting in a tank
Well, every time the wife talks, a baby gets mentioned
I'm so broke, I can't pay attention
Lord, how it tears me up to see her cry
So I been spending all my nights on the internet
Looking for a clue but ain't found one yet
Just a bunch of Mopars, guitars, and other stuff I can't buy
Well now Lord, if you can hear me, won't you throw a damn dog a bone?
'Cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal
This old soul's going down
I sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad
All the people in the crowd say he ain't half-bad
Well, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
If you want it, you can have the crown
Well, I been sitting on my ass like a bump on a log
Watching Andy and ol' Boss Hog
Guess I ought to get up and go out and find a job
Instead of sitting on the couch trying to find the next line
I'm sure there's gotta be a better use of my time
Like figuring out which one of these banks I'm gonna go rob
Well, the name of the game is "Hurry up and wait"
But that ain't putting no food on my plate
Or gas in my car and I drive a Bronco
So Lord, if I could just get me a record deal
I might not have to worry about my next meal
But I'll still be trying to figure out
What the hell rhymes with Bronco
Well now Lord, if you can hear me, won't you throw a damn dog a bone?
'Cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal
This old soul's going down
Oh, I sing 'em real pretty, sing 'em real sad
All the people in the crowd say he ain't half-bad
Well, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
If you want it, you can have the crown
Well, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
If you want it, you can have the crown
