[Verse]
AWell I got a Senator over in Texas, got me a judge down in New Orleans.
Bought me a DSenator over in Texas and a judge down in New OrAleans ummm hummmm
ESometimes I call the world my oyster, sweetest little deal you’ve ever Aseen.
[Verse]
AWell the one kid’s high on God knows what and the other one smashed the Benz.
ABetween the bank boys and the lawyers I don’t know where it ends.
DSometimes I got to wonder about living high on the hog.
AThere’s times I wish I’d married me a woman instead of buying this fierce old dog.
ECan’t say the old man didn’t warn me when he’s bringin’ me judgment day
AAnd one little thing I forgot to remember, there’s a matter of some hell to pay
[Verse]
AAnd then here comes shifty and his new 150 wants to take me for a ride.
ASaying hey little mamma how ‘bout a little drama. Why don’t you just hop in inside?
DSaid I might look like a yokel but I’m high tech mogul with a tiger in my tank
AI said oh my goodness you’re a real smooth talker I believe I’ll take that drink.
EBut first thing buddy better cool your jets before you make your play
AYou gotta feed the kitty and oh yes well there’s a matter of some hell to pay.
[Verse]
AWell now you got your devil in the details. Got your devil in the cake
AYou can’t look around most anywhere that the devil ain’t on the take
DHe’s waiting on down at the end of the aisle he’s a waiting at the pearly gates.
AI’d say the man’s about everywhere ubiquitous some might say
ETruth is he’s worn out all us fools ain’t no one left to play
AHe’s bored, he’s mad, he’s all shook up and there’s gonna be hell to pay.
[Verse]
AWe’ve dirtied up the waters and pretty much trashed the earth
AThe butcher and the baker and everybody else has taken it for all its worth.
DSayin “me oh my it was a big old pie and I sure as hell filled my cup”
AThat Senator’s a comin on a big white horse and the judge is gonna fix me up
Ebut if ya complicate this moment it’s time to fight and pray
ACause now it’s time for the money shot baby times up and there’s hell to pay
