My mama drank scotch whiskey and my daddy drank jim beam
I was concieved just outside of new orleans
Told my ma he loved her while elvin bishop played
Daddy'd be the worst mistake my mama ever made

I'm a son of the bourbon, I'm a son of a bitch
I'm the dying breed of rock and roll left ass up in a ditch
I've been up against the law, I've served some time in jail
I've been known for gettin' stoned and raised my share of hell

They went back to alabama one cold october day
Soon as I was born my daddy up and ran away
We got by on gettin' by we'd live from week to week
As long as I've got two good hands, I'll work to earn my keep

My mama drank scotch whiskey and my daddy drank jim beam
I was concieved just outside of new orleans
When my life is over and my time has come to pass
Bury me upside down so the world can kiss my ass
