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 His daddy died drunk with a belly fulla rum His mama died waitin' for a miracle to come People said The boy's born to be a bum Hangin' around with the rest of the riff-raff Down at the pool hall on Main Street Wearin' a red bandana and a sweaty ol' straw hat Union-All coveralls, dirty bare feet One half stupid and the other half dumb Born to live and die in a sharecropper's slum People said The boy's born to be a bum Who's gonna cry when ya die, Lucas Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone Will it be the black man you call the *** The hippie that'cha beat up just 'cause you was bigger Will the riff-raff laugh at the epitaph on your tombstone Betcha says "Here lies Lucas, born to be a bum... ...Died like his daddy with a belly fulla rum" Now who's gonna cry when ya die, Lucas Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone Will it be the black man you call the *** The hippie that'cha beat up just 'cause you was bigger Will the riff-raff laugh at the epitaph on your tombstone I'll Betcha says "Here lies Lucas, born to be a bum... ...Died like his daddy with a belly fulla rum" UHHHHHHHH! Goodbye, Lucas...
