This song it was written down In a pea green windowless room Four o'clock and the TV's dead Wired up with nothin' to do I drunk all my whiskey I smoked all my beer I'm already gone I just got here An old hairy ass hillbilly Still up and hangin' on
Made me think of a Similar time In the Tropicannibal motel Takin' showers 'bout every hour 'Cause I wasn't really feelin' well Well in walked the Alabama Leanin' Man His ol' buddy Billy Swann Two old hairy ass hillbillies Still up and hangin' on
[Chorus] Takes a friend to make you laugh A slap on the back someone who knows Right where you're at A friend in town who just heard you're around Came by see how you're gettin' along
Most people go out to clubs Just to see an electric dildo A human jutebox who loves to play Every single song they know But they don't care if you blow your soul They usually stand up and tell you so And leave that hairy ass hillbilly Still up and hangin' on
So wherever you may be tonight I wish you luck You may be with a friend of yours And may your friend be your lady love But if you gotta go and do a show And afterwards you got no where to go You're just a hairy ass hillbilly Still up and hangin' on
