Termites: The Promised Land
You know I never was too much for country
Told my daddy that hoe don't fit my hand
Got nothin' to show for breakin' my back
I want bright lights, girls, and Cadillacs
Gimme heaven on earth can't wait for the Promised Land
Now dad just shook his head in silent wonder
Said, son I ain't always worked this land
He said, nothin' in this life is free
It ain't easy son, just let it be
But if you gotta go to take these words with me...
You can marry it, you can inherit it, or you can steal it
That's the only way you'll become a wealthy man
Well now, daddy lives in a single-wide
There's a mighty mad woman wants to skin my hide
And I'm stuck here doin' time in Birmingham
