When I Win the Lottery Lyrics

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

 Spend 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 a known 

communist.

 Now I can walk into any old bar

 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 rocks will cry and the rest will curl up

 And God won't take the time to sort your ass 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 rocks will shake 

their heads and say that

 God is good but surely works in mysterious ways.

 When I win the lottery.
