King of the World

Cane poles hanging out a four-door window
Bucket full of minnows in the front floorboard
A box full of greasy cold fried chicken livers
A day on the river's what I live for

I got the radio playing in my boat
While I float, take a toke and I listen to Merle
A hot sun, cold one, I'll be a son of a gun
I'm king of the world

They grow big gators in south Louisiana
My neighbors in the swamp take an evening nap
Shoo fly, shoo fly, polk salad and hеy
Listen to the bull frogs hip-hop rap

I got a pretty thing waiting downtown
I am in love with a brown-еyed girl
I'm gonna catch me a fish, go home, get a kiss
Why yes, I'm king of the world

I got a stringer full of bass and a hook in my finger
Sunburned face and a Tylenol buzz
I take the good with the bad and the bad with the better
The weather wasn't bad so I better not cuss

I got a roof over me and enough to eat
And a Labrador I call Earl
He lays by my feet, looks up at me
Like I am the king of the world

Cane poles hanging out a four-door window
Bucket full of minnows in the front floorboard
A box full of greasy cold fried chicken livers
A day on the river's what I live for

I got the radio playing in my boat
While I float, take a toke and I listen to Merle
A hot sun, cold one, I'll be a son of a gun
I'm king of the world
King of the world
I'm king of the world
Yeah, I'm king of the world
