If I had my own way You'd be here with me today But I rarely have my own way I guess that's why you're not here with me today And the librarian said You can't buy no respect I said hey lady what can you expect When I'm lying on the floor
You I love the lady but she don't wanna be No girl of mine Well the only thing you ever done for me Was help me waste my time And I saw you at the funeral You were standing there like a temple I said hi, how are you, hello And I pulled up a casket and crawled in Yes, I did
Climbed up a Mountain and I looked around Some kind of circus with all them clowns I said hey wait a minute can't we slow down a bit And I almost got hit by a truck Well it just goes to show you that we're all on our own Scrounging for our own share of good luck Stab your brother in the back And pick up your pay check
Good-bye lonely heart Jolene you never did work anyhow I'm looking for a nice girl and I don't want no cow I'm heading out West Gonna find me the best Well I played the game but I failed the test If I can't be a lover then I'll be a pest Yes, I will
