Big Shot Rich Man - Jason Boland & the Stragglers
Folks like me, they’re always moving It seems to be the only way to stay There ain’t nothin too strange or too confusing It’s better to change a little everyday Some folks travel, some folks settle Some folks own and some folks rent Some folks marry, some just stay single Everybody wonders where the money went Chorus: I don’t wanna to live like a big shot rich man I don’t wanna to live like a branded slave I just want to give some land to my children So they won’t have to buy my grave I want to go back to California I want to be in that state once more When the floods come in and the quakes are over I hope I'm not sittin’ on the ocean floor Gonna be with my friends back in Oklahoma Gonna settle down on a piece of ground I’ll have 100 wives and a mess of puppies I could live my life, like a natural hound Chorus Gonna roll me a reefer, seven foot long Smoke that reefer, I got turned on I hocked a tape deck made in Hong Kong I bought some more reefer, now my money’s gone
