Well I lost an eye in Mexico

Lost two teeth where I don't know

People see me comin' and they move to the other side of the road

I robbed a liquor store to make myself at home a few times

Borrowed myself a car when I needed it

I got me a shack at the bottom of the road

Fixin' cars and givin' tows

Spendin' all my money on the lottery

When I win the lottery gonna buy all girls on my block

A color TV and a bottle of French perfume

When I win the lottery gonna donate half my money to the city

So they have to name a street or a school or a park after me

When I win the lottery

Never run a flag up a pole

Like mr. red, white, and blue down the road

But I never called myself a hero for killing unknown communists

Now I can walk into any old bar

And find a fight without looking too hard

But I never killed someone I don't know just 'cause someone told me to

And when I win the lottery

Gonna buy the house next to mr. red, white and blue

And when I win the lottery

Gonna buy Post 306 American Legion, paint it red with five gold stars

When I win the lottery

When the end comes to this old world

The rights will cry and the rest will curl up

And God won't take the time to sort your ashes from mine

'Cause we zig and zag between good and bad

Stumble and fall on right and wrong

'Cause the tumbling dice and the luck of the draw just leads us on

And when I win the lottery, gonna buy all the girls on my block

Silver-plated six shooters and a quart of the finest highland scotch

'Cause when I win the lottery, the rights will shake their heads and say that

God is good but surely works in mysterious ways

When I win the lottery
