You Can Have the Crown (Cowboy Arms Session) lyrics

by

Sturgill Simpson


[Verse 1]
Well, I been spending all my money on weed and pills
Trying to write a song that'll pay the bills
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 ol' Baghdad
In the middle of the hot damn desert sitting in a tank
Every time the wife talks a baby gets mentioned
But I'm so broke I can't pay attention
Lord, it tears me up to see her cry
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

[Chorus]
Well now, Lord if you can hear me
Won't you throw a damn dog a bone?
'Causе if the Devil shows up with a bettеr deal
This old soul's going down
Oh, I sing 'em real pretty, sing 'em real sad
And all the people in the crowd say, "he ain't half bad"
They still call me King Turd up here on sh*t Mountain
But if you want it you can have the crown

[Verse 2]
Been sitting on my ass like a bump on a log
Watching Andy and ol' Boss Hog
I 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 them banks I'm a-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
And oh, Lord, I finally got out of my record deal
And now these bluegrass tunes is buying all my meals
And we're all just pawns in the game of life like Mongo
[Chorus]
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
And I sing 'em real pretty, sing 'em real sad
And all the people in the crowd say, "he ain't half bad"
And they call me King Turd up here on sh*t Mountain
If you want it you can have the crown
Oh, they call me King Turd up here on sh*t Mountain
If you want it you can have the crown
