Jason Boland & the Stragglers - Big Shot Rich Man lyrics

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 Chorus
