Lyrics
'Wagon full of Nuts'
Sittin' on a ten dollar bill 'til Friday
Hopin' that a whole lotta luck come my way
Raisin' up a family a' good eyed boys
Lord I gotta tell yah it makes a lotta noise
Baton down the hatches, fix up the latches
Stitch eleven patches, borrow for the yule
Lord I gotta tell yah it takes a lotta time to git 'em all to school
And it all comes down to have yah got the guts
To keep on livin' with a wagon full of nuts!
Makin' for the station what an operation
Goin' through the motion, makin' a commotion
Siftin' through the corn for a black eyed pea, yeah
Hell I gotta tell yah it's hard to be me
Cookin' on a coal fire, tears on the phone wire
Rent man's a cold liar, tell him next week, yay
Lord I gotta tell yah takes a lotta cheek
To climb that hill n' take a little peek
And it all comes down to have yah got the guts
To keep on livin' with a wagon full of nuts!
