lyrics

I was born in Meade in 58
To the greatest farm that god had made
Then came the droughts, along with the floods
Knocked me off my high horse
And out on to my feet
Don't you mess around with me
Break off my piece
Don't you mess around with me
Mama said don't fret the thunder (What you say?)
Mama said don't skip or swagger (Skip that way)
She trained this whip, how to become a gunner
And when i grow old, I'll be half as tough as Mama's fuckin soul
When I'm dead, lay them rebel colors on my bed
And just so you know, I was half as tough as Mama's fuckin soul

When I'm dead
Lay them rebel colors on my bed
And just so you know
I was half as tough as Mama's fuckin soul

If I was half as tough as Mama's right hand
Then I'm gonna be one tough mother fucker yet

If I was half as tough as Mama's right hand
Then I'm gunna be one tough mother fucker yet
Mother fucker yet
Mother fucker yet

Don't fret the money honey
It's gonna come on down
They gonna spread it around

Don't fret the money honey
It's gunna come on down
They gonna spread it around

Don't fret the money honey
It's gunna come on down
They gonna spread it around

When I'm dead
Lay them rebel colors on my bed
And just so you know
I was half as tough as Mama's fuckin soul
(x2)
If I was half as tough as Mama's right hand
Then I'm gunna be one tough mother fucker yet
(x2)
Mother fucker yet
Mother fucker yet
Mother fucker yea

Don't fret the money honey
t's gunna come on down
They gonna spread it around
