Ricky Skaggs - Poor Monroe lyrics

Just because he's lazy Sits around with the blues They run Monroe off Without his shoes. He always was lazy And he never liked to work But now his feet they are bare As he runs through the dirt. If my family should Ever do me that way I'd put my shoes on And go far away. But if they didn't give me time They say I had to go Then my feet would be bare I'd be just like Monroe. Well, I guess they told him They didn't need him there And if he was out of the way They would draw welfare. That's whats messing up the country And making it so tough While monroe's living it down His family's living it up...
