Why am I here 'til the day that I die?
Why am I here though I don't even try?
There is a reason for everything it is true
So why am I here and feeling so blue?
I woke up this morning and thought for awhile
Change your ways and give a big smile
I did and it was so much fun
I felt so much better after all was said and done
Fun, fun, fun, and a bottle of rum
Drank it all down before the day was done
Drinking rum all day is dumb
I know that is true but gimmie some.
I thought I would build a house for my wife and me
Went outside to cut down the old oak tree
Had a problem with the axe being dull and all
Went inside and made a local phone call
Brother, can you come and give me a hand?
I need you now and hurry if you can
I'm building a house for the wife and me
Having trouble cutting down the old oak tree
Sorry Bro. I just can't come and I will tell your why
I broke my leg and I think I'm going to die
Work is something I just can't hack
If it weren't my leg, it would be my bad back
I sat right down and thought and thought a lot
What is the matter with the house I got?
To build a new house, I would have to go in debt
Makes no sense to slave, work and sweat
Therefore, my wife and me, sit here at night
She loves me and holds me ever so tight
Honey I want to ask something from you
May I have a drink of your good OLE mountain dew?
