Laid Back Country Picker |
South bound out of Shreveport heading hell bent for his grave |
He reads a sign on the barn door that says the good lord Jesus saves |
But I don’t think Jesus knows him 'cause he ain’t the Jesus kind |
He’s a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind |
He gave the folks a good show at the Shreveport Coliseum |
They all heard he’s dying, so they all come out to see |
Friends and neighbors make him happy |
Lord them snuff queens treat him kind |
He’s a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind |
Uppers, downers, turn arounders picked him up and laid him down |
His old troubles keep on swimming 'cause their to damn mean to drown |
He keeps looking for an answer I know he’s never gonna find |
He’s a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind |
Big Bertha, back in Beaumont says he really turns her on |
She hits the floor a dancing, when the DJ plays his song |
You can see somebody loves him, or at least they did one time |
He’s a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind |
Uppers, downers, turn arounders picked him up and laid him down |
His old troubles keep on swimming 'cause their to damn mean to drown |
He keeps looking for an answer I know he’s never gonna find |
He’s a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind |
