The Ballad of Scumbag Country

[Verse 1]
Well I'm walkin' home at 7 A.M
From one last Reno last-call
Been raisin' hell with all my rowdy friends
And snortin' coke in a bathroom stall
Lord, we had a ball

[Chorus]
And this song goes out to the scumbags
Just like every song I sing
It's just a song about this hard life we lead
Lord, outlaws and scumbags like me

[Verse 2]
I'll never make it down to Nashville, Tennessee
'Cause they don't like my scumbag songs
Gettin' rich would be the last thing I'd ever need
'Cause drugs are all I'd spend it on
I'd be dead before too long

[Chorus]
And this song goes out to the scumbags
Just like every song I sing
It's just a song about this hard life we lead
Lord, outlaws and scumbags like me

[Verse 3]
Well I ain't rich, but I'm doin' okay
Singin' my country songs and tryin' to get paid
And I know it ain't much, but I'm proud to say
That ole' Waylon might've just done it this way
If he were here today

[Chorus]
And this song goes out to the scumbags
Just like every song I sing
It's just a song about this hard life we lead
Lord, outlaws and scumbags like me
Outlaws and scumbags like me
Singin' my scumbag country
