lyrics

He was just a working man. Brought home the bacon whenever he can. He likes corn and whiskey from a can. And falling asleep on his old divan. But everybody said, “that ain’t the life. If you want to get to heaven, well you gotta get a wife”. Oh son, that ain’t the life, son. You can drink your whiskey when you’re dead. You can sow your oats inside your head. I said, oh son, that ain’t the life son. If you want to get to heaven, well, you gotta get a wife, son. He was just a soldier’s son. Having a little bit too much fun. Chasing tail and skinning rabbits. Flirting with a cocaine habit. But everybody said, “that ain’t the life. If you want to get to heaven, well you gotta get a wife”. Oh son, that ain’t the life, son. You can have your party when you’re dead. You can sow your oats inside your head. I said, oh son, that ain’t the life son. If you want to get to heaven, well, you gotta get a wife, son. He was just a railroad man. Passing through whenever he can. Never made time for anybody. Just the rails and the open country. But everybody said, “that ain’t the life. If you want to get to heaven, well you gotta get a wife”. Oh son, that ain’t the life, son. You can be alone when you’re dead. You can sow your oats inside your head. I said, oh son, that ain’t the life son. You can drink your whiskey, like we said. You can have your party when you’re dead. Oh son, that ain’t the life son. If you want to get to heaven, well, you gotta get a wife, son.
