"Big Shot Rich Man" Lyrics

Folks like me, they're always moving

It seems to be the only way to stay

There ain't nothin too strange or too confusing

It's better to change a little everyday

Some folks travel, some folks settle

Some folks own and some folks rent

Some folks marry, some just stay single

Everybody wonders where the money went

Chorus:

I don't wanna to live like a big shot rich man

I don't wanna to live like a branded slave

I just want to give some land to my children

So they won't have to buy my grave

I want to go back to California

I want to be in that state once more

When the floods come in and the quakes are over

I hope I'm not sittin' on the ocean floor

Gonna be with my friends back in Oklahoma

Gonna settle down on a piece of ground

I'll have 100 wives and a mess of puppies

I could live my life, like a natural hound

Chorus

Gonna roll me a reefer, seven foot long

Smoke that reefer, I got turned on

I hocked a tape deck made in Hong Kong

I bought some more reefer, now my money's gone

Chorus
