Generate meaning
1
If the folks next door to me weren't so good
2
I'd do all the mean things anybody could
3
I'd drink and I'd gamble and I'd louse around
4
I'd be the meanest man in this whole town
5
If I hadn't seen the light in that old lady's eyes
6
I'd try to be a man you would hate and despise
7
I'd rave and I'd rant and I'd scream and yell
8
And I'd chase my neighbors from here to hell
9
If I hadn't heard those kids laugh playing games
10
I'd have nervous fits, I'd go insane
11
I'd turpentine cats and tin can dogs
12
I'd smother people to death inside of hollow logs
13
If the people around me wasn't so nice
14
I'd freeze my heart into a cake of ice
15
Steal money from soldiers and working folks too
16
I'd lend you a dollar and take back two
17
If my wife didn't kiss me the way she does
18
I'd carry four or five daggers and three or four guns
19
I'd shoot craps and ramble and hang out late
20
I'd steal baby buggies and Cadillac Eights
21
If my friends didn't write me those letters I get
22
I'd be a dictator, the worse one yet
23
I'd be the only smart bird, you'd all be fools
24
Send you all away to war and I'd stay home and rule
25
If it wasn't for them songs I hear you all sing
26
I'd put a crown on my dome and I'd say I'm your king
27
I'd kidnap some and blackmail others
28
I'd peddle black market stuff and rob sisters and brothers
29
If it weren't for your talking I hear on the street
30
I'd be the orneriest man that you ever did meet
31
I'd preach the gospel of hate and I'd drink your blood
32
But I can't be this bad because my folks are too good
33
No I can't be this bad because my folks are too good
