It's a Shame

Well, my daddy was a saint
My momma was a sinner
Papaw was an old freight train
Well, my uncle liked huntin'
And the other liked fishin'
Lord and my aunts nearly drove 'em insane

Yeah, my brother's a hero, my sister's an angel
And I never meant to 'cause 'em no pain
Yes and I am a drinker and I'm also a thinker
And I think that it's a damn cryin' shame

It just like it's a shame to see a woman
Who's white trash and pretty
It's a shame to see a truck that don't run
It's a shame that I'm so rich when I ain't got no money
It's a shame I ain't havin' no fun

It's a shame I ain't sittin' up on some barstool
It's a shame that I'm goin' through hell
It's a shame I've been drinkin'
And it's a shame I've been thinkin'
But I'm bored so I might as well
Sing yodel-lay-he, yodel-lay-he-he, yodel-lay-he

Well, my dog ate my loveseat, my car's a lemon
I've got two left feet and no thumbs
I'm unambidextrous, I'm uncoordinated
I'd count my blessings if I had some

Or at least that's the way it feels
On them old dreary days
Rain fallin' down from the sky
I'll give you these last parting words of my wisdom
They ain't much but I reckon I oughta try

To tell y'all that it's a shame to see a woman
Who's white trash and pretty
It's a shame to see a truck that won't run
It's a shame that I'm so rich when I ain't got no money
It's a shame I ain't having no fun

It's a shame I ain't sittin' up on some barstool
It's a shame that I'm goin' through hell
It's a shame I've been drinkin'
And it's a shame I've been thinkin'
But I'm bored, so I might as well
Sing yodel-lay-he yodel-lay-he-he, yodel-lay-he
