Lucas was a redneck through and through

Drinkin and fightin was all the boy knew

Born with a corncob in his mouth

In Tupelo, Mississippi way down south

      C7
His daddy died drunk with a belly full of rum
      D7
His momma died waitin for a miracle to come

The boy's born to be a bum

Gm
Hangin around with the rest of the riff raff
Gm
Down at the pool hall on Main Street
Gm
Wearin a red bandanna and a sweaty ol' straw hat
Gm
The union hall overall dirty back jeans

C7
One half stupid and the other half dumb
D7
Born to live and die in a sharecropper's slum

Now who's gonna cry when you die, Lucas?
                                      Dm
Who's gonna miss you when you're gone?
        C
Will it be the black man you called a n****r
      C
The hippie that you beat up just 'cause you were bigger
           C
Will the riff raff laugh
                                 Dm
At the epitaph on your tombstone
 Dm
Betcha it says
