You Can Have the Crown - Sturgill Simpson

You Can Have the Crown Lyrics

Well, I've been spending all my money on weed n' pills
Tryin' to write a song that'll pay the bills
But it ain't came yet, so I guess I'll have to rob a bankI guess it could be worse, it ain't that bad
At least I ain't sittin' in old Baghdad
In the middle of the hot damn desert sittin' in a tankWell, every time the wife talks, a baby gets mentioned
But I'm so broke I can't pay attention
Lord, how it tears me up to see her cryOh, I've been spendin' all my nights on the internet
Looking for a clue but ain't found one yet
Just a bunch of Mopars, guitars, and other stuff I can't buyWell, now Lord, if you can hear me won't you throw a damn dog a bone
'Cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal this old soul's a-goin' down
Oh, I sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad
And all the people in the crowd say he ain't half bad
Well, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
But if you want it you can have the crownWell, I've been sittin' on my ass like a bump on a log
Watchin' Andy and ol' Boss Hog
Guess I ought to get up and go find a jobInstead of sittin' on the couch trying to find the next line
I'm sure there's gotta be a better use of my time
Like figuring out which one of these banks I'm gonna go robWell, the name of the game is hurry up and wait

But that ain't putting no food on my plate
Or gas in my car and I drive a BroncoSo Lord, if I could just get me a record deal
I might not have to worry about my next meal
But I'll still be trying to figure out what the hell rhymes with BroncoWell, now Lord, if you can hear me won't you throw a damn dog a bone
'Cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal this old soul's a-goin' down
Oh, I sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad
And all the people in the crowd say he ain't half bad
Well, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
But if you want it you can have the crownWell, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
But if you want it you can have the crown
