Ray Wylie Hubbard - Kilowatts lyrics

God smiles and lights a cigarette And says "There are some souls I ain't gonna get I'd take all the little critters if I could But some are to smart for their own damn good They don't even believe I'm here They ain't seen where I've been Every once in a while I hear one say Get me out of this I'll never do it again" All it takes is some grains of faith And a few kilowatts of sweat and grace All it takes is some grains of faith And a few kilowatts of sweat and grace Mama's been casting spells and such Lining them up to get their fortunes told She's been doing this for a while I wouldn't go so far as to call her old I saw her break a hex one time Said all that glitters is not gold Then she took a diamond ring And threw it down a crawdad hole and said Chorus Lucinda's been laying down on the job That's a hard way to make some money Say's "Here I am in the USA " "I ain't seen no milk and honey" All I seen is tattooed hands Waving up wadded dollar bills Maybe I oughta' get redeemed It's getting to where I can't buy a thrill Chorus God coughs and puts out the cigarette And says whats this got to do with you It's hard to get a rascals attention I keep raising the stakes until I do d**h kind of puts a damper on things So you might want to remember this See yourself as you would like to be Then he winds his watch and he blows me a kiss and says Chorus
